Shared MobileMe calendars - gone forever?

My team shares a couple of calendars in MobileMe. They're pretty key to doing our jobs effectively. I've migrated to iCloud, and lost those calendars. And my team is unable to invite me back, because my iCloud ID is the same as my MobileMe ID, and emailed invitations include a completely unhelpful link directly to MobileMe (and attempting to log into MobileMe provokes the cheerful message that I don't need to do that anymore - my old MobileMe work and home calendars showed up just fine). Even when the rest of the team migrates, how are we supposed to share anything between now & the retirement of MobileMe? We need a fix immediately, even if it means going back to Google Calendar. Do I have a choice?

Have your colleagues migrated to iCloud also?
Regardless, they should still be able to share calendars with you.
When they click the Share icon at http://www.me.com/calendars/ or https://www.icloud.com/#calendar they will get the option to have a "webcal:" URL which you can enter into iCal to subscribe to the calendar.
I've successfully shared iCloud calendars with Mac's running Leopard, Snow Leopard and Lion, with or without MobileMe or iCloud membership.

New shared MobileMe calendars

After updating MobileMe calendar on MobileMe, shared calendars, one of the new features, does not appear on the iPad. Is this an iPad 4.X feature?

In the simplest of terms, to get designated "shared" calendars (the new MobileMe feature) to appear on the iPad just as these designated "shared" Calendar appear on the iPhone. My "Work" calendar on MobileMe is "shared" to my wife. That "shared" calendar appears on her iPhone Calendar and her iMac Calendar, but not the iPad calendar. It is not clear (or maybe I'm not reading it correctly) in the Apple literature that this feature is an iPad 4.xx feature which will not work until 4.xx is released in November.

MobileMe calendars gone missing

Hello!
I tried the new MobileMe calendar beta and became so interested that I wanted to start using MobileMe as my primary private web calendar. However I am experiencing some strange issue when I wanted to make the MobileMe calendars available on my iPhone (3GS running 4.0.1).
I am currently using Exchange 2007 from work and GMail (and a couple of subscribe calendars). When I first choose to activate Calendar from the MobileMe account (present since I got my iPhone) I got a question if I wanted to merge the calendars present on my iPhone with MobileMe's. I choose the alternative but I never got the syncing to work since the iPhone never should any events from MobileMe (they are present if I access the calendars through the web or iCal).
I then turned off MobileMe calendars on my iPhone (and chose to delete them). I hoped this would somehow reset them. Now I am even worse than before though. If I activate the calendars in the Settings part of iOS MobileMe doesn't even show up in the Calendar app (i e not present when I press the little blue Calendar button up left).
I have tried deleting the MobileMe account from the iPhone and readding it but it doesn't help. How do I get this working correctly again?

I'm having a very similar issue, too. Tried the beta and did not like it or the current restrictions it places (no groups, slow syncs). So when I deactivated it and reopened the current iCal, it does not show any of these in the iPhone's Calendar app. It shows other subscribed and the Exchange calendars, but no MobileMe ones.
I, too, restarted the MobileMe settings on the iPhone and did a full replacement from the Mac desktop over the MobileMe versions. The calendars all show up correctly on the Mac and the MobileMe browser versions, but still no calendars on the iPhone.
I know w/ 3rd party apps, you can at least remove the app and all its preferences so a fresh install can be done. However, w/ Calendar & MobileMe being core elements on the iPhone, I don't know how to further reset this app...short of a full-blown iPhone wipe. Not in the cards!!

I've created a shared MobileMe calendar & can see the events my dad has added but not he can't see mine

None of the events that I've added show up on his version of the shared calendar, whether they were created before I shared it with him or after. But the ones he's created show up in mine. We've refreshed both calendars multiple times!
Seems to defeat the purpose of a shared calendar. Does anyone know how to fix this?

This does not answer my question. I'm doing everything correctly but no email is generating that asks the "subscriber" to be invited to see my album.

Link to MobileMe calendar subscriptions in Pages '09

I am working on a document with the end goal of sending out a PDF with links to subscribe to shared MobileMe calendars.
I am using Pages '09, version 4.0.5 (852), Mac OS X 10.6.7, and the new CalDAV MobileMe calendar. The problem is that every time I crate a link to the shared MobileMe webcal, Pages 'auto-corrects' the URL to begin with "http://" and breaks the link.
How I am currently creating the links:
     - Select text
     - Click the Link tab in the Inspector window
     - Click the "Hyperlink" tab
     - Check the box to "Eable as a hyperlink"
     - Choose "Webpage" from the "Link To:" drop down menu
     - Copy and paste the link to the shared MobileMe calendar (webcal://www.me.com...) in the URL: field.
Pages will automatically add in "http://" to the beginning of the URL. After this, the link takes the reader to a blank webpage rather than adding a new subscribed calendar as expected.
I have found a work around:
     - Open Finder and navigate to the desired Pages document.
     - Copy the Pages document
     - Rename the Pages document to end in ".zip" (without quotes) and choose "Use .zip" when prompted
     - Open the new ZIP file
     - Open the extracted folder (should have the same name as the ZIP file)
     - Open index.xml with TextEdit or another plain text editor
     - Use the Find and Replace feature (⌘F in TextEdit) to replace all occurrences of "http://webcal://" with "webcal://" (without quotes)
     - Save and Close index.xml
     - Go back to Finder, open the folder that was created by unzipping the the Pages document
     - Select all items in the folder (⌘A)
     - Choose File > Compress [number] Items from the menu bar
     - Rename the newly crated "Archive.zip" to "[document title].pages" (without quotes). Put the name of your document in place of [document title]
     - Open the newly created Pages document and immediately choose Share > Export... from the menu bar
Does anyone know of a more elegant way to accomplish this?
Thanks,
NChiu

I can't help you on the not having http:// part of the equation. One simpler step for you though is after you have made all your changes, instead of selecting everything in the folder and archiving, just add the extension .pages to the folder.
I know it isn't much help, but maybe a little.

Shared calendars gone after I set up iCloud

My wife and I have a shared calendar. I moved over to the iCloud and now the shared calendar is gone. I tired to re-share the calendar from her calendar that is still on Mobile Me and it would not go through. Is it not possible to share the old MobileMe calendar with an iCLoud calendar?

I was having the same problem as most of you. I was not able to share my calendars after the move to iCloud from MobileMe, but my wife was. I am not sure what caused it, whether it was because the calendars were on share with everyone before the move or not. I did however figure out a way to solve the issue.
1- Open iCal on your Mac, close iCal on the internet (iCloud)
2- On your Mac choose each calendar (right click on name) and choose stop sharing
3- On your Mac choose each calendar ( right click on name), chose sharing settings, then click on button for "only the people you invite", enter person's apple ID/email, click update.
4- reopen iCal calendar on web
5- Choose calendar that wasn't working, now you should have option to add people to share with, and the person you specified in step 3 will already be there. Hit "resend calendar invitation" (it will be in blue). The person you sent the invite to will now be able to share your calendar.
Hope this works for all of you the way it worked for me.

Help: I "upgraded" MobileMe's calendar and now all google calendars gone

I had previously had multiple google calendar subscriptions that synced with iCal.
Having inadvertently let my MobileMe trial turn into a full year's subscription, I was checking out its features (which I really haven't used other than the gallery). When I was prompted to upgrade the MobileMe calendar to the new version, I did so.
When I went to iCal, now all of my calendar events have been converted to "on my mac" calendars (instead of my Google subscribed calendars).
When I go directly to Google Calendars, THEY ARE ALL GONE.
Is there any way to restore things to the way they were? I'm guessing I can use time machine to restore the iCal database, but not sure if that will then "push" the missing calendars to Google Calendar.
Help, please. Needless to say, I have turned off MobileMe syncing...

I had similar issues. All of my past events under my "Personal" calendar were not there. I went to Settings/Mail,Contacts,Calendars/Sync and changed the setting to "All Events" (other options are 2 Weeks Back, 1 Month Back, 3 Months Back, 6 Months Back). Not sure if this did anything or not.
I needed to see all my doctor appointments I had had over the past year (they still showed up on my desktop calendar, but not my iPhone). So I went in to each doctor appointment on the desktop, editing the name slightly, and it then appeared on my iPhone. This was a pain, but I got all my doc visits back on my phone so I can search for them. Note that repeating events in my Personal calendar still showed up. It was only solo events that would not display.
Seems like Apple made a mistake on this one.

Private sharing of calendars within MobileMe?

I understand that it is not possible to password protect a published iCal calendar (or at least I think that is right -- if not, that would solve my problem!)
Is it possible to somehow share viewing (not necessarily editing) of calendars within a mobileme family pack? Via a password protected shared folder on the iDisk?
My wife and I would like to be able to occasionally view each other's calendars but there are items on my calendar (like client names on meetings) that are relatively confidential.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like to limit sharing of calendars... does someone know of a way?
Thanks.

Hmmm... I posted the above here because the Apple Help Chat person told me the above wasn't possible.
I just found "Publishing a password-protected iCal calendar to iDisk" on the apple website (article HT2071) via a better google search at http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2071
This looks like it would work within a family group though wouldn't necessarily work with someone you were unwilling to share passwords with...

I downloaded ITunes on a new computer a while ago but have been afraid to do a sync, Today I did and now lost 3.5 days of music?? I have checked my itunes folder and they arent there either. Are they gone forever?

I downloaded itunes on a new computer a while ago but was too afraid to syn. I did sync just now and lost 3.5 days of music, have checked my itunes music file and they arent there either. Im sure the music is all still on my old computer but it is broken and i cant access it. Are they all really gone forever?

Not without your old computer, no you can't. You could use Home Sharing to get content to your new one, but again, you would need access to the old one. My question is... before syncing to the new one... a message pops up warning you that syncing will erase the content from the iPod and replace it with the content in the new library. Did you ignore this warning?

ICal crashes whenever opened after upgrade to new MobileMe calendar

I upgraded to the MobileMe calendar beta, and have no problem using it on my iPhone, MacPro or the web. But iCal on my MacBook Pro now crashes every time it is opened. I can see it start up OK, then as soon as it starts showing the indeterminate spinner next to my MobileMe calendars (presumably showing it's doing a sync) it crashes. I've tried deleting all my calendar data from my Library folder but that hasn't helped.
Has anyone else seen this? Or could anyone offer any suggestion as to how I can remove the MobileMe calendars from iCal to at least get it running again? The error it crashes with (it's the same every time):

Welcome to Apple Discussions,
Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
__NOTE: Removing these files will remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
Hope that helps.

Shared 2010 Calendar Color Categories not appearing in Outlook 2007

I have a SBS 2003 (exchange 2007) environment wih a mixed Outlook use between 2007 and 2010. One 2010 Outlook client has shared a calendar to several 2007 users and they swear that when they received the email invite to view this shared 2010 calendar, the
color categories list in their Outlook changed to match the shared calendar without any interaction from the users. A new hire was given the same invite to view this shared calendar, she accepted, the calendar is visible however, the color categories
are not appearing.
I've tried setting an appointment in the 2010 Outlook shared calendar with all the color categories in the list, then going to the client's 2007 Outlook and updating the color categories in her mailbox but nothing changes.
I've read about 20-30 blogs, tech form and MS tech answers on this subject and I get conflicting solutions. One states that you can't transfer the master color category list, you have to change it on each Outlook client while others state the use of an appointment
and upgrading the categories from the properties in the client's mailbox (which didn't work) or using a third party add-in to manage a "Master Color Category list" (which costs money). I would like a straight answer to my question, which is,
"why can't the Outlook 2007 client see the color categories in the 2010 shared calendar?" and "How to I fix this?".
This questions has been asked in so many different ways that I'm not sure if someone will help me without having to call MS support and pay for it. This has got to have a simple solution that I don't need to pay for it, yes?
Anyone, please help me.....

Hey mate i had the same issue and was dumb founded till i came up with a solution that worked for me, and possibly someone out there looking for the same solution. Half the info i looked up was all bullshit and took me months to come up with a fix as
im busy with other priorities.
still busy so ill be quick...and not gonna get too technical just gonna lay it all out in steps
1. create a mail account in exchange eg.
[email protected]
2. log into the account through outlook and share the calendars you set up.
3. go to the exchange management console on the 'server ' right click the created
[email protected] mailbox > manage full access permissions> and start adding the users who need access. (only thing that worked for me)
4. close and reopen outlook on the users computer and then you should see the colour co-ordinated catergories that you assigned for scheduling that they can all access and book appointments in a easy colour co-ordinated layout.
if it dosent show up try - *on the users computer* start >run>cmd>gpupdate/force
this will force the update on some computer that didnt show up with the effect. only had this problem with 1 user and this fixed it :)
hopefully this idea helps you! as it did me cause no geek out there never gave me this easy fix option, instead right properties and blah blah blah technical crap that dosent work, wankers!
thanks :)
P.S this worked between 2010 and 2007 microsoft outlook

Upgraded to new MobileMe Calendar and now very slow updates

System:
iPhone 3G, iOS 4.1
Mac: 10.6.4
"Upgraded" to the new MobileMe Calendar.
Now BusyCal, iCal, MobileMe and iPhone do not sync quickly (sometimes takes 30 minutes for iPhone or more). Sometimes I need to launch iCal to get MobileMe to update. On the iPhone need to leave on for a long time or turn on and off.
I think I've gone through all the conversion steps and FAQs: Apple's, MobileMe, Mac, iPhone and BusyCal.
Maybe I was just spoiled with iPhone via Airport.
Any comments/suggestions?
Thank you.

I'm seeing that problem as well and I can't figure out what why it's slower. I figured it's a bug so I reported the problem at Apple's iTunes Feedback page.
On the other hand, iTunes 9 converts MP3s to AAC format at least twice as fast as iTunes 8 did, which is a very welcome improvement.

Synching ONE MobileMe calendar with TWO iphones

I keep reading that it's possible to synch a MobileMe calendar with TWO iphones but cannot find out HOW to do so. I presume that SHARING a calendar is different from SYNCHRONISING a calendar. Sharing a calendar seems to me to be cumbersome in that it involves sending an invitation which then must be specifically dealt with by the recipient. SYNCHRONISING a calendar though presumably means updating a calendar entry automatically. It works with one iphone. How can it be made to work with two iphones? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

That's it.
http://www.apple.com/mobileme/setup/iphone_ipod.html
ANything you add will appear on the other phone and visa versa
my OG iPhone won't sync with my MobileME calendar. Is that because the OG phone can't be updated to ios4?
And if that's the problem is there any alternative for syncing the OG iPhone's calendar (which is now empty)?

Shared iCloud calendar events not updating on shared devices

I had successfully set up a shared iCloud calendar with my friend which enabled us to edit and view the same calendar on our iPhones and iMacs.
Everything was working fine until a few days ago when it stopped working. When either one of us created new events, they wouldn't show up on the other person's calendar and when they seldomly did, not even an alert popped up like it used to which the person had to go under the invitations page and accept them.
What could possibly have gone wrong? We tried deleting the calendar then re-sharing but it stopped working very suddenly.

Hi trenten7,
Here is an article that goes through troubleshooting iCloud calendars, including different steps for different devices:
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3999
I would start with troubleshooting the two Macs and then move on to the iPhones.
Cheers!

There is no Mobile Me anymore. It has been gone for several years, now. However, your existing calendar and mail will integrate with iCloud if you enable it on your system.
