Sharing Calendar with another .Mac User

My husband I both have iphone 3g's and separate .mac accounts, but we would like to be able to sync our calendars...is this possible? If so how do we set it up?

Hi there brucedm!
I have some information that might prove useful to you about iCloud. First, iCloud is a free service, and you can find more information on the basics of it in the following webpage:
Apple - iCloud - Your content. On all your devices.
http://www.apple.com/icloud/
I also have some more specific information for you regarding iCloud calendars and sharing calendars. This article is an overview of calendar sharing:
iCloud: Calendar sharing overview

And this one is about activating sharing on your iCloud calendars:

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

  • Sharing calendars with other mac users

    how do i share a iCal with another MAC user

    You need to be an iCloud subscriber and keep your calendar under iCloud, not 'On My Mac'. Then you can share it privately to other iCloud subscribers (editable or read-only at your choice) or publicly (read-only) to anyone with a CalDAV client - such as iCal or Google Calendar.

  • Can't audio chat with another Mac user who is using AIM

    Can't audio chat with another Mac user who is using AIM but I can when they are using iChat. Is there a way that I can fix this problem.

    The Mac OS X version of AIM is not capable of audio or video chats. There is no way around this.

  • Sharing an i book created in iphoto with another .mac user

    I need to have another .mac user look at an i book that I have created in i photo. Does this person have to have a .mac website for this to work? If not, how would he view this?

    Thanks so much for your answer, I saved it as a PDF and stored in
    on iDisc in the public folder as you suggested. Now he can access that
    by going to his iDisc, and 'Other User's Public Folder. Thanks for your
    help. Are you with Apple, or just an individual?
    Laurie:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Do you want your
    friend to be able to work with the book in iPhoto or
    just look at it?
    If it's just look at it then do a Print to PDF and
    send them the pdf file. If it's too large to email
    then you an post it to your Public folder on your
    iDisk for them to download.
    If you want them to work on it in iPhoto then there's
    no easy way to accomplish that. One method would be
    the following:
    1 - duplicate you iPhoto Library folder and name it
    Book Library.
    2 - open the Book library (launch iPhoto with the
    Option key depressed and, when asked, opt to locate
    the Book library and open it.
    3 - delete all of the photos except those in the
    book, all albums, slideshows and any non book items.
    4 - now you can either burn the Book library folder
    to a CD and get it to your friend or make an archive
    of it (Control-click on the Book library folder and
    select Create archive in the contextual menu) and
    upload that to your iDisk Public folder where your
    friend can download it.
    You friend can then unzip the library folder and open
    it as noted above.
    Do you
    Twango?
    TIP:
    For insurance against the
    iPhoto database corruption that many users have
    experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the
    Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If
    problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any
    photos or thinks there are no photos in the library,
    replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the
    backup will often get the library back. By keeping
    it current I mean backup after each import and/or any
    serious editing or work on books, slideshows,
    calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem
    pops up and you do need to replace the database file,
    you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long
    to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application
    (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB file backup, that
    will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your
    iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder,
    replacing any previous version of it. You can
    download it at Toad's
    Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf
    file.

  • Sharing files with another mac

    I have some videos on Iphoto that I want to share with another Mac via the cloud. How do they find it on their computer?

    One of the most secure way to share files over the internet is to use an sftp server.
    Goto your system preferences-->sharing-->turn on remote login.
    Then on your router's or firewalls port forward tcp port 22 to your mac. Then you can log into each others mac using an SFTP client such as transmit or cyberduck.

  • Sharing an iMovie with another Mac user

    I am a new Mac user.
    I am taping my nephew's football games for his coach.  I imported the video into iMovie and created the project.  Now, I am struggling to figure out the best way to share the project with the coach.  I had anticipated putting in onto a flash drive, but I keep getting a message saying that the 5.65 GB movie is "too large for ovum's format."  I am trying to use an 8GB flash drive.  Help!!

    Where is he viewing the contents of the Dropbox?  If it's online then all he'll see are the contents of the domain package. If you use the deskltop Dropbox application on each machine to synce the domain file this is what you'll see in the local Dropbox folder:

    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.

  • Sharing web updates with another Mac user

    Old Toad, I read your previous instructions from a couple of years ago about sharing the Domain folder with another user.  I found the Domain file, and uploaded it to DropBox and shared it with the domain owner.  He sees it in his dropbox but as separate files in the folder.  How do I instruct him now?  I can't even find the Library/Applications Support/iWeb file from where I got the domain file.  It doesn't turn up in FInder so how can I tell him where to go?  Any help gretefully appreciated.

  • How do I stop an automatic 'sharing' of my files with another Mac user in my address book?

    Hi all
    I have just installed Lion and it has started to 'share' access to other mac users files - all of which come from my address book. How do I stop this and delate the links that have been created ? Very embarrassing right now - some of these people are my clients!

    Pamachi --
    The easiest ways are through FaceTime (video calling) or actual screen scaring via iChat.

  • Sharing files with other mac users on iCloud

    May I share files I store on iCloud with other users?

    If you want to try online sharing you might like to look at SugarSync:
    https://www.sugarsync.com/products/sync_sharing.html
    - this page says:
    Collaborate with shared folders
    SugarSync keeps all your shared files up-to-date and in sync for powerful collaboration with your virtual team. With folder sharing, you can collaborate on projects by giving a person, or a group of people, access to a shared folder on your computer. No more wasting time emailing individual files and tracking the latest versions. Just send an email invitation to your clients, coworkers, or family members to join your folder.
    Sync folders of information across teams
    Folder members can sync a shared folder directly to their own computers. Any member of a shared folder can have their own copy of the folder on their own computer. Folder members can edit files locally. Updates are reflected for everyone as soon as the file is saved.
    I've not tried this so you would need to investigate to see whether it suited your requirements.
    There is also a new program, Cloud App, which makes sharing files simple: it runs as a background process and you just drag files to the menu bar icon. Storage is with Heroku and Amazon: it's free with a limit of 10 files per day, maximum 25MB per file, $45 per year for unlimited files, maximum 250MB per file.
    Another possible option is YouSendIt. It provides the facility for you to upload files and send an email to a recipient telling them how to download it: and it's also possible with all but the free plan for others to upload a file for you. The free version allows you to send a maximum file size of 50MB with no upload by others: $9.99 per month gets you 2GB sized files in either direction, and there are upgraded plans.

  • Sharing Video with another Mac

    I have several Video files of TV Shows downloaded with iTunes on my Power Mac G5 which is primary computer at home and is located in my study. The PM is connected to my home LAN and has AirPort. I want to play the videos on my 17" PowerBook via Airport connection or via its ethernet connection while lounging im family room where there's a nice log fire burning. Both computers are running iTunes 6.0.1 (3).
    So, I crank up iTunes on the Power Mac and ensure Music sharing is active and computer doesn't sleep.
    The Power Book has great AirPort signal strength in the Family Room but when I fire up iTunes on it all I can see in the Shared Music is MUSIC and NO video files show up at all. Why is this ? Why would videos be special cased and not shared ? The iTunes is all about music and I wonder if Video such as the TV Shows I've downloaded aren't considered music and therefore aren't shared.
    Can Video files be shared to another computer on same LAN just like music files can be ?
    I searched the Help but found no help on this matter.
    Any insights appreciated as I really would like to watch my video TV Shows in more comfort (ie Family Room) compared to my study location, and I don't want to have to copy the fairly large Video TV Show files across to my Power Book from Power Mac in order to watch them on the Power Book.

    Sharing does not work for purchased videos.
    As a workaround burn them to a DATA CD/DVD through iTunes and use the resulting disk(s) on your PB - Videos will play off the disk without importing them to your PB's iTunes Library.

  • Sharing Internet with another Mac via Bluetooth

    I'm trying to help my wireless-less iMac G5 get online. It sits about two inches away from a MacBook Pro on my desk, which connects to the household wireless network via the in-built AirPort card. I'm hoping I can share that AirPort connection via Bluetooth.
    Both systems are running Leopard, although the G5 is running a vanilla 10.5.0 install since I can't update without an Internet connection. The MacBook Pro is up-to-date and then some.
    On the MacBook Pro, under System Preferences -> Bluetooth -> Advanced, I've checked "Share my Internet connection with other Bluetooth devices." Under Sharing, I've turned on Internet Sharing from AirPort to Bluetooth PAN. I've also paired the devices together.
    I'm trying to connect from the iMac G5 to the MacBook Pro with "Connect to Network" in the Bluetooth menu. However, it's grayed out. If I do the same from the gear menu in System Preferences -> Bluetooth, nothing occurs.
    This seems like a pretty complicated process for a technology that's meant to make networking child's play.

    You're making life very complicated for yourself!
    1) Bluetooth is far too slow for sharing an internet connection, unless you like accessing the internet at dial-up speeds or less.
    2) As the computers are so close, just run an Ethernet or Firewire cable between the two to create a network, and share the internet connection over Ethernet or Firewire.
    3) You can easily update the G5 to the latest Leopard by downloading the standalone updater on the internet connected Mac from the Apple web-site, then just copy the Update to the G5 via CD, DVD, USB Disk, Firewire Cable, Ethernet Cable, external hard disk etc...

  • Sharing files with another mac over internet

    Hi there,
    My friend has a mac with tiger. I have a mac with tiger. We have built in ftp servers, correct? How exactly do we connect with each other over the internet to share large files? I know the answer is simple or at least available. Thanks for your time.

  • Starting chat with another .mac user

    Set up IChat with my sister in India. We both have .mac accounts - when I try to start a chat with her, it brings up a box with a service drop down menu. It only offers AIM, not .mac. Am I doing something wrong?

    The screen name you get when signing up for a .Mac account uses the AIM service for text, audio, and video chats.

  • I cant audio chat with another mac user

    I have a friend that has a an apple powerbook, and on Ichat it says that I can audio chat with him, but any time I or he try to connect and do that, it says that one or the other of us didn't respond. So, how can we fix this problem? Its driving both of us crazy.

    HI Kellen,
    It is more a question of whether you (both) have opened the ports that iChat needs.
