Sharing a 'shared calendar' with my work calendar?

I have a calendar I share with my wife and a work calendar on my iPhone. Here is the use case I am trying to solve for:
My wife puts a school event for one of our kids on our shared calendar. It's an event during the week that I would like to attend and need to mark it on my work calendar. Right now, I create a duplicate entry but for my work calendar. I have to remember all the specifics to recreate it. What I would like to do instead is either:
A) be able to associate that one entry with a second calendar so it continues to show up for my wife AND shows me as unavailable to work colleagues (I can't just edit and change it to my work calendar because it would be removed from the calendar I share with my wife, effectively removing it from her calendar)
B) easily duplicate the entry and then associate it to my work calendar - in this case I would have two entries. This is what I am doing manually now, but I would like an easier way of doing it than creating a new entry from scratch and having to reenter time, date and subject.
Are either of these possible or do I have to continue duplicating from scratch?

You would need to share that calendar diretly to your work exchange account if your work exchange account supports that ability.

I have a shared calendar with my wife on our iPhones that I would like to view in my work Outlook Exchange. Is this possible?

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?

Work around for shared calendars

Has anyone found a work around for shared calendars yet? This has to be one of the biggest downfalls of the iPhone, along with the fact it can't search in the mail app.
If anyone ahs found a work around I'd be very keen to here it.

I have not used this product but it sounds like it may be able to do what you want.

To make it clear. This happens not all the day long, just from time to time, but it's annoying. What could be the cause?
I found this: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3398078?start=75&tstart=0
But we do NOT use the wiki stuff on our server.
Any suggestions would be appreciated

Shared calendar with OC 2005Q4

Hi,
I try to use shared calendars with OC 2005Q4.
I have Calendar Server 05Q4 and CE 05Q4.
When I try to set permission for my calendar to another user, i get an error message: User not found. Either enter the email id of the user OR click on Search and then click on Find to locate the user.

Importing shared calendar with all posted items

We have a shared calendar with all our area events, which exists in my account, but now we wish - as a matter of urgency - to export this (with all its posted events) to a generic account, which can be updated by a few named employees - and not be tied to one user's account. Unfortunately, when I import the ics file into the generic account it appears with no contents. It seems that I will have to create a new blank calendar in the generic account, and share it's contents with all my colleagues again. Please can anyone confirm if this is so, or explain what I need to do to make it happen.
Thank you,
Ted.

Aplogies. I have finally worked this out. Since I am the owner of the shared area calendar, only I have the right to add, edit or delete calendar items, but can allow those rights to other accounts. To move all calendar items, as advised, I shared the calendar (right-click on calendar in folder list, and select "Sharing") with the generic account by entering that account in the Name box, clicking the "Add User" button. Then I selected the account, now in the list of shared accounts, ticked the add, edit and, crucially, the delete box. The latter enabled me to move items from one calendar to another in the generic account, after setting the properties of both to detail view. One thing that can't be done is transfer the shared-with list, so I guess I'll need to re-share with all area staff. Thanks Danita. I got there in the end!

Does anyone here access a shared calendar with their Blackberry???

I work for a very large company and I don't use my personal calendar. I use a calendar on a shared mailbox where several people enter appointments I need to attend. So far I have not been able to get a hold of anyone in our IT department who knows if it is possible to have my Blackberry synchronize with the shared calendar instead of my personal calendar. Surely other people must access a shared calendar with their BB. Doesn't seem like such an unusual thing to need to do. On my laptop I have access to both my personal and the shared calendar in Outlook. We run an Exchange Server and that is about the extent of info I have.

If she has been syncing her phone with iTunes she could restore her phone to her last backup. This will revert the settings and data on her phone to those contained in the backup (losing more recent information). You should probably unshare your iCloud calendar with her before beginning to avoid the possiblility of her restored calendar replacing yours. Then, before connecting her phone, open iTunes on the computer she syncs with, go to Preferences and on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically". Next, connect her phone and when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar right-click on it and select Restore from Backup, taking care to choose her backup to restore from and not yours. If this restores her calendar she should give it a unique name before trying to share your iCloud calenadar again.
If she syncs her calendar with a supported application on her computer (such as Outlook) another option would be to replace her iPhone calendar with the calendar on her computer by checking to do so on the Info tab of her iTunes sync settings (under Advanced>Replace information on this iPhone>check Calendars), apply and sync.

Printed a shared calendar with tasks

I need to print my boss's daily calendar with the tasks listed on the right side, but although both his calendar are tasks are shared with me and I can view them, it won't let me print the calendar with the tasks from my outlook. From other
discussions I saw people recommending the Calendar Printing Assistant for Outlook, but it looks like that only works in Outlook 2007 and it won't work on my Outlook 2013.
Is there any solution for this besides adding his mailbox to my computer?

Hi
As per the information and details provided by you, to print a shared calendar with tasks, please follow these steps: -
In Outlook 2013, you need to ensure the print settings are correct first.
Go to the
Calendar; enter Day view by clicking the Day button above the Calendar.
File tab >
Print. In the list at the right ensure Daily Style is chosen under
Settings. Then click the Print Options button just above the
Settings list. In the Print Dialog box that opens, right in the middle is a button that says
Page Setup; select that.
Print setup dialog box that opens, in the
Format tab, find the Options block on the lower left. In that block, the second item down is labeled
Tasks. From the drop-down menu to the right of Tasks, choose
To-Do list.
In that same dialog box you probably want to clear the checkmark next
“include: Notes area (blank)” to make more room for tasks.
Now click
OK first and then Print on the next screen. That’s it. The setting should be saved.
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

ICal: How do I get iCal to sync with a shared calendar?

I am working in a small business who are running a Microsoft Exchange Server. All users are using Microsoft Outlook for e-mails and calendars. I want to get iCal on my mac to sync with the shared calendar on the Exchange server which is published in the 'public folders'. Can anyone shed any light on this matter? Does iCal do this?

In short: No it doesn't.
There's a third party 'solution' out there: Groupcal by Snerdware. However, since OS10.4 it's nothing but trouble with that program. They've recently released version 3.0, which is supposed to fix things, yet for me (and a couple of other users, according to for instance versiontracker) matters only got worse. I'd say: give the trialversion a go and see if it works for you. But be prepared for trouble with future OS updates etcetera. Also their support only returns emails with very short and cryptic answers, if at all.
The alternative of course is using Microsoft Entourage instead of iCal.

How do I sync with a shared calendar?

Hi,
How do I get a shared calendar on Outlook (2003) to show up on my iPhone (1.1.1)?
Thanks in advance!

Shared calendars are working, but have suddenly started prompting for login info of user who shared the calendar

My boss started having this problem this morning. It may possibly be due to an update. The calendars appear to still be working fine (not 100% sure they're
getting new updates) and I've tried deleting them and re-adding them and the problem persists. Outlook will pop up the Security prompt asking for login credentials, with the username of the person whose calendar is shared pre-filled in the user name section.
If you click cancel everything continues to work but it prompts you again in a few minutes.
These calendars have previously worked perfectly with no issues.

Hi,
Please confirm if there is any changes in Shared calendar account and your boss mailbox.
Since the issue occurs after the update in your Boss's computer, please reboot the local machine. And recreate the Outlook profile to have a try. About opening shared calendar in new profile, please open the shared calendar by the following steps:
1. Switch to Calendar pane.
2. Click Open Calendar > Open Shared Calendar.
3. Click Name to select the user who shared the calendar to this user.
4. Then click OK to open the Calendar.
Check whether there is any error when open it. If there is any permission error, please check the folder permission in shared user side.

Sync shared calendar with Android

Hello all,
I'm hoping someone has found a solution for this: our office is almost exclusively Mac and iOS and we use shared calendars to communicate our work schedule (which changes often). A key person on the team has a Droid and we're trying to figure out how to allow them to see the shared calendar and hopefully have it update when the iCloud calendar updates.
I've looked at the iCal to GCal web service but that requires the calendar to be public. Does anyone know another way to put a shared iCloud calendar into Android/Google Cal?
TIA,
JVK

I am guessing this is still the case with exchange 2007..
If anyone has a work around please share

Settings for notifications for shared calendars no longer working

Updated to Mavericks yesterday and noticed pretty soon that the setting for not receiving notifications from my shared calendars is no longer working. Has anyone else got this problem and more importantly, does anyone have a solution for this?

Hey Scottie,
Do you have firewall software running on the PC's and Mac?
Do you see the same issue with the firewalls disabled?
This article will show you howto enable iTunes in the Windows XP firewall.

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!

HT203521 In iOS8 I can't turn off shared iCloud calendar alerts. I share iCloud calendars with 3 others and am constantly getting their alarms for upcoming appointments. Settings- Notifications- Calendar- Shared Calendar Changes turns off changes only.

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.
