Sharing a calendar between macs

at my wife's public grade school they use PCs but we have macs at home she uses for school work.
she & the two other 1st grade teachers use MS publisher calendar at school so they can share / change info between them and my wife was wondering if she can use a Mac to make changes to publisher that is compatible with their PCs??
Does anyone have any suggestions of how she can make use a Mac to make chages to their calendar that the PCs will be able to open / use like they do now with using MS Publisher.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Unless you want to install Windows and Publisher on your Mac the best bet would be to use / share an online calendar such as a Google calendar

My home sharing continually fails between mac and apple tv 2.

my home sharing continually fails between mac and apple tv 2, even during watching a movie. I go to the mac to re-turn on home sharing but it is still on. Any tips? I also have to turn off and back on at the mac every time i switch on my apple tv.

Firewall Section
5. Check Firewall Settings
If you have a firewall enabled in your router or computer, make sure that the firewall is not blocking communication between your computers. Home Sharing uses TCP port 3689 and UDP port 5353 to communicate with shared iTunes libraries.
In addition, Apple TV and Mac computers will use port 123 to set the time automatically. Incorrect date and time on either the computer or Apple TV can cause errors for Home Sharing and connections in general.
If you are unsure whether your router has a firewall or the required ports open, test additional devices or another network to help isolate the issue. If the devices tested work on another home network, it is your router or network configuration.
For Mac OS X, you don't have to edit the port addresses, but make sure the firewall in Apple () menu > System Preferences > Security > Firewall are not set to:
Block all incoming connections
Allow only essential services
If you use another security/firewall software on your computer or router, follow this article or contact the manufacturer or check the documentation on how to open TCP ports 123 and 3689 as well as UDP ports 123 and 5353.
It made sense to me, but its still puzzling me after restarting a router would (in my first attempt) resolve the issue for a day. This this time I applied the port forwarding TCP and UDP ports and saved the settings in the DLink DIR-655 and both my iPad2 and iPhone 3GS were now again finding the share. My ATV2 is also now accepting the Share.

Can I sync & edit calendars between Mac & Lumia 92...

I'm swapping home and work computers to Apple but would like to keep my lumia 920. One important feature for me with windows is the ability to edit my calendar on any of my devices - laptop, home computer or 920 - and it automatically syncs with them all. Despite hours of surfing and Apple expert advice, I still haven't found a post telling me if it's possible to edit and sync any type of calendar between Apple and 920 without me needing a phd in computing. Can anyone help please ?

Sharing iTunes Library between Mac and PC

Hello
I have a Windows PC at home and had a Dell laptop. I have my itunes library on an external hard drive. This worked perfectly since which ever machine I was on I had access to the same library. Recently my work upgraded my laptop to a Mac Book Pro with Snow Leopard. Is there a way to share this same library on my Mac? I am new to the Mac world and am a bit lost. Thanks in advance

I have a similar setup. You need to move your itunes library to your network storage device. You need to do this within itunes (you will have to google moving your itunes library because I don't remember all the steps). After you moved the itunes library to a network share, you need to go into advanced preferences on each computer that will access the library and set the location of the itune library to point to the network share folder where the file itunes library.itl is located - the exit from Itunes. Restart Itunes on each computer (pressing shift on the Windows computers and option on the Macs). You will then have to choose the Itunes library. Browse to the network share and click on the itunes library.itl folder.
Three notes. Only one computer at a time can access the library. Second, each time you switch back and forth between mac and pc, the library folder needs to be updated. Third, for some reason, with iTunes 9.0.2, the updating process has slowed down. It is especially slow taking 15 minutes or so for a 13GB library. Hope apple fixes this.

Sharing linked files between mac and pc

Dear Community and AI Support,
My team is trying to share AI files between Macs and PCs. That works fine until we have Linked assets. Once we have linked assets, AI either forgets to, or is unable to, let us relink more than one of the linked files. We can't edit the links or even delete them. The linked files are just ignored, leaving the file half empty.
We've tried hacking the paths directly in the .AI file, hoping to eventually write a perl script to help us switch back and forth. but no luck. We assume there is a checksum or crc code or hash, etc..., as AI won't even try to open the file after that.
But to clarify the issue. here is an example of the Mac and PC links we need to switch between using an excerpt from the AI file. These are valid, working directories on both platforms.

ooohhhhh very interesting. I did a find and replace on all the strings, but no dice. I didn't think to look at those types of data. But now that you have mentioned it, perhaps I'll do a diff on the same file saved on both platforms to see what has been changed. Should have already thought of it, but your note has made me check my assumptions.

What is the best way to share calendars between Macs?

I have two macintosh computers in my house and I use one as the master for our family calendar in ical. I want both calendars in sync, with the second mac as the "copy"-no new data is added here.
My current method of "sharing" was to publish the files up to our web-server (not apple's) and then subscribe from computer #2 pointing to that web-server.
Calendar-Publish-choose private server-and fill in the blanks-click-OK.
When my mac updated to 10.5.4, this method broke. I can no longer publish the files using ical, but I now have to FTP the files up to the web-server. This is a couple of extra steps that is becoming a headache.
File-Export (about 8 calendar files); open a terminal window; FTP the files up. Go to the other mac and Calendar-refresh all.
Is there a better way to share ical files between two macs in the same house without FTP-ing? Or is Apple going to fix this problem?

I set up ical synching through a google calendar and it works well. The benefit here is that you can see your calendar from a web browser when away from the house.
Info in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7772872&#7772872
iCal should have a "share" option like itunes libraries for lans though. Odd that it doesn't.

How do I sync calendars between Mac (OS10.6.8) and iPad (iOS7.1)? using iTunes (v 11.1.15).

I have an iMac (model 8.1, OS X v 10.6.8) and an iPad 2 (iOS 7.1). The calendars no longer sych via iTunes but did about 6 months ago. I think that may have been when I updated the iPad OS. None of the instructions I've seen on-line seem to help. When I attach the iPad to the iMac via a USB cable I get the following message in iTunes - > Info - >Sych Calendars, "Your calendara are being synced with your iPad over the air from iCloud. Over the air settings can be changed on your iPad." I do not have an iCloud account. According to the Apple Support website, "To use iCloud, you must have at least iOS 5 on iPhone 3GS, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPad, or iPad mini; or at least OS X Lion v10.7.5 on a Mac." I'm not sure my iMac can support that OS due to its age. Besides, I used to be able to sync the calendars so why bother with iCloud? It just seems like one more step.
Also, I've never been able to sych the mail content between the two machines. The message below the iTunes->iPad->Info ->Sync Mail Accounts says, "Syncing Mail Accounts syncs your account settings, but not your messages...." Any instructions on how to sync the messages would be appreciated too.
It's frustrating to have these syncing challenges. I had a Palm Pilot at work about 15 years ago and and it synced with the PC any time I put it into the docking cradle. Same thing with a work-issued Blackberry about 10 years ago. I'm disappointed that the Apple systems seems to be so convoluted and un-user friendly. Syncing calendars worked when I orginally got the iPad about two years ago but now doesn't seem to sych. What am I missing? Thanks in advance.

Hi crispinfromab,
If you are having issues syncing your calendars via USB, you may find the following articles helpful. If you do not have an iCloud account or don't intend to use it for syncing, you may also want to make sure that iCloud syncing is turned off on your phone (under Settings > iCloud).

Sync of calendars between mac and iphone

Previously, I could sync my phone with itunes and my calendars would update across both devices. couple of months ago I installed mavericks and noticed that there no longer was the option to sync calendars with a wired connection between devices so I rolled back to 10.8.5 and left mavericks well alone
Still on 10.8.5 and with my iphone 4s on 7.1, I cannot send calendar entries from my phone to my mac.
I am not a cloud user and for many reasons I can't/dont want to be a cloud user. Is there any way to recover the two way sync capabilities between devices or is this yet another force of hand from the once mighty apple to push me in a way they want me to go ?
Any advice greatly received

Do you have sync calendars selected in the Device Summary tab in iTunes?

Home sharing not working between mac and pc, but it is fine between mac and mac. Help!!!

Good Evening Dear Gurus,
Hi, I am writing this to ask for help regarding home sharing. Yes I do know they are several threads out there that already explains or rather given solution on how to tackle this problem. BUT the my problem is rather different. I am no computer expert myself, so here is the problem, apparently MY MAC can home share with another MAC, but both of this MAC cannot home share with the PC.
Does anyone encounter this kind of problem before? Can anyone help a poor guy out? Thanks in advance. love to hear from the community soon!
Thanks!

Sharing Internet Connection between Mac and Windows

Hi there!
I have a Windows Desktop and a Macbook 13". Am I able to share the Internet between them?
My Mac has Airport to connect wirelessly. So does my PC, except this Wireless connection always fails. I have re-installed the software and so on, but it still is failing.
What I would like to do is to have my PC connect to my Mac (preferably wirelessly, but I will use an Ethernet cable if I have to!) and then use the Wireless Internet connection. Is this possible, or am I just dreaming?
Help with this would be greatly appreciated!

Right now, I have Verizon DSL that uses a Westell router. It has 4 ethernet ports on the back in addition to the DSL connections. I have a HP Pavilion with Windows XP in the basement, an iMac G3 in my room, and an intel iMac in our living room all connected to the router by ethernet cables. Each computer is able to access the other computer's files. On the intel iMac I have Microsoft Remote Desktop installed so that I can log into the HP in the basement and control it from the iMac. I haven't tried operating this network wirelessly, but I would imagine that it would be possible. One thing that you might want to check is the router's configuration. My router has settings that either allow or block wireless signals. To access my router's settings I type in 192.168.1.1 in Safari or Internet Explorer. Having all 3 computers on the internet at the same time does not slow the speed of the DSL very much.
I hope this information will help.

Common URL format for sharing file paths between Mac and Windows?

Hi -
I have to integrate several Macs into a Windows environment. We need to be able to copy and paste file paths to share between all machines. Is there a common URL format that can be used between the platforms?
On Windows, I have:
\\server\share\file
On the Mac:
smb://server/share/file
Thank you for your help,
Steve

On Windows you have what is known as a "UNC".
On the Mac, you have a "URL". It starts with the protocol to use "smb" then gives the path to the item using standard conventions.
UNC is Microsoft mainly.
The only way I know for Windows to use a URL is with an application like a web browser or ftp client.
On the Mac, you can use UNCs but they must be modified as follows.
In Terminal:
smbclient \\\\servername\\sharename\\filename -U username
And enter a password if prompted.
Notice that you must double up the slashes. This is due to how UNIX shells treat the backslash.
You will connect to the share, but it will only be in Terminal.

Sharing a printer between mac and pc

I an trying to help my sister share her printer with both her new iMac running Snow Leopard and her old PC running XP. The PC is connected directly to an Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS) because it has no wifi and her iMac is connected using the wifi. The printer is connected directly to the iMac with a USB cable. I have printer sharing turned on under system preferences on the Mac but I don't know how to find it once I get on the PC.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance

Make sure that the Mac and the PC are both members of the same Workgroup or they won't see each other.

Sharing my library between Mac and PC.

Problem: iTunes (Mac) will not find shared music on iTunes (PC).
I have recently allowed my iTunes library on my PC to share my music over the local network. My PC is connected to the network by Ethernet cable attached to a wireless router.
My mac, however, is connected to the wireless network also coming from the router, but it has not found any shared music at all.
After I enabled the sharing on my PC, I almost immediately logged out of it, but it was still on and connected to the network.
I have not created any advanced settings on my PC (maybe I should have?), but it remains connected to the network (and the internet) through the Ethernet cable.
Any ideas?

Boot Camp 3.1 Sound Quality issues & Sharing Between Mac OS & XP

Hello all,
I've just recently received my first iMac and I have successfully installed Boot Camp 3.1 with Windows XP running. Everything seems to run very well except two things I would like some clarification & help on please:
(Please note - after strolling through numerous google pages, forums I have yet to find a suitable and logical solution.)
01. First of all, everything on the Windows XP side is working fine. Although the sound quality is quite hollow/thin with lots of treble. This is very noticeable when compared to the sound being played on Mac OSX. Also, the volume on the windows side is very loud?? I read on this forum that when headphones are plugged in on the windows side, it sounds normal? So I did this and it worked, however, at the moment I'm not in a position to fork out some more money for quality speakers. (although i am drooling over the HK Soundsticks III EU)
Is there a solution for making the sound quality the same as the Mac side? I've also updated to the latest Cirrus Logic Driver and this made no difference?
02. Again, looking through various forums, including this one, I still have not found a simple solution for sharing my music between Mac OSX & Windows XP. Many of the reported solutions are either extremely complex with various version of how to do it: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2309922&tstart=135 or use an external Hard Drive formatted in FAT32.
I understand that Mac is only able to read the NTFS partitions and not write to them. I am aware of third party software's such as MacDrive but having heard general and corruption issues with such software I am reluctant to use them. Not sure if Paragon NTFS for Mac 8.0 will suffer the same issues as it is a driver rather than a piece of software. Will this work?
I hope you can help. Many thanks in advance!
Simon

Old post, but for any one else,
If your using external speakers now then they should have the same quality on either OS.
Have you tried going into the "preferences" (or whatever they're called) on Window's and looked at what the sound settings are? I can't remember what they are on my old XP but maybe they just need to be tweaked? I think there is a way to set the loudness, left/right equal, etc, on either the head phones or externals.
Well, maybe it's that simple......
On the music sharing, I wouldn't know of a way on NTFS to share anything with a Mac (no writing, no sharing). If you have more then one computer, maybe get a NAS (network attached storage), NDAS etc, and just put the library on that and anyone could access it then?
I had this all typed up for a MP and then realized you had an iMac.
Oh well, maybe this will help someone else.
Boot camp will only partition one drive into two area's so the idea won't work on a single drive computer. So it looks like maybe an external storage disk for the music will work.(Maybe use a 3rd party partition-er, but again I don't know if Boot Camp will like it even after the initial install?) And won't work on an external drive (Window's/Boot Camp).
But if you had a second drive (if you had a Mac Pro) you could use for Windows, you could format the full drive as HFS and then have Window's format the XP partition to the size you need for XP (NTFS) and then just leave the rest formatted as HFS and then put the Music you want to share on that partition (HFS) and then the Mac and Window's could share?
I'll be trying this soon my self so we'll see if it works!
