Sharing calenders through iCal in a LAN

Hi,
I have open directory, web, DNS and ical services running on my 10.5.8 server. I want to share calender through iCal in my LAN. I need all my clients to view it. I am not able to do it..
Any help appreciated..
Thanks in advance..

I bought and have used BusySync with great success http://www.busymac.com/
My only caveat is that I've had problems recently that are probably due to the fact I've also installed Appigo Sync, and with syncing via MobileMe I may have had too many cooks in the kitchen.
Good luck!

Microsoft Exchange shared calendars through iCal on iPad or Mac

This is surely not an original question, but -
My company uses Microsoft Exchange. I have synced it to my iPad for calendar, contacts, and email, and it works very well.
We also use shared calendars, and I utilize this feature often via Outlook on my PC. However ...
1. I'd like to be able to view MS Exchange shared calendars on iCal on my iPad. Is this possible? Obviously, no one will grant me permission to view their contacts or emails, but calendar-only is what we share. Is this possible?
2. Is it possible to view MS Exchange shared calendars through iCal on a Mac? I have a colleague who has an iMac with iCal synced to Exchange and it works great. However, we do not know how to view shared calendars (from MS Exchange) through iCal. Again, we want to share calendars-only - no email or contacts. Can anyone help with this?
THANKS SO MUCH FOR HELP.

"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.

Extreme + Shared Disk through a NAT?

Hi,
I've done a search on this topic but can't find a thread that answers my question - so I beg forgiveness if this has been asked and answered many times...
I've got an Extreme base station hosting a shared disk for a small business LAN. It works great.
This past weekend I put in a D-Link router into one of the offices to help reduce traffic noise (I've got an Ethernet-based interface for outboard automation and it was previously very laggy). The router does exactly what I need it to - except I can't use the Airport Disks menu to mount the Airport Disk.
The Disk shows up in the menu but returns a "Connection Failed" dialog box. I can connect to the Disk directly through Finder > Go > Connect to Server
I'm thinking some ports need to be opened up.
Anyone know where I can find that info?
Or perhaps something else is going on?
Thanks.

Please describe exactly how the D-Link and AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) are connected.
Hi Duane,
Thanks for taking this on...
PowerMac & Control Surface (both static IP) -> D-Link (NOT DHCP, in the 10.0.0.1 range)
then
DLink -> Netgear GigaE 20-port switch
the AEBS goes:
AEBS -> same Netgear switch
then
Netgear Switch -> Firewall/Router (static IP in 192.168.1.1 range) -> DSL
Are you trying to go through the D-Link to get to the disk attached to the AEBS?
Yup. Punch through the D-Link to the AEBS.
Is the D-Link configured so that it's DHCP server is enabled or disabled?
Disabled.

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.

Prevent Safari access through iCal?

I have a 5 station peer network of Mac mini's for the staff of an apartment building. Primarily used for Filemaker, I also started using iCal to share my calendars for resident issues, staff schedules, etc.
With parental controls only allowing Filemaker and iCal with the limited Finder activated, the staff is getting full access to the internet through iCal (via Find Shared Calendars), which I want to prevent.
Possible?
Thanks,
...Bob
iMac 24", mini's Mac OS X (10.4.9)

With some help here (and 'there') to get the mental juices flowing, here's what seems to work:
Use the admin account (my own - btullis) on each machine to set Safari.app's owner to "btullis", and set Others to No Access.
This allows me to still have full access via admin account as the need arises, yet it renders the iCal Find Shared Calendars menu option to be mmute, so to speak (simply, nothing happens when invoked). iCal can still obtain updates to the subscribed calendars I've published from my own desk.
I'll find out how well this works, or other undesireable holes, when the inquisitive tweaker on my staff returns from vacation.
Your input was very useful (though indirectly) in finding my way to that end. Thanks again.
...Bob

Can I create a shared calendar on iCal from the New iPad?

My company just gave out iPads for use to all field employees. My coworkers and I currently have an Outlook shared calendar that we utilize for scheduling our work. We can not access the shared calendars on our iPads, therefore I would like to create a shared calendar in iCal that we can all access for sharing our schedule as we were doing on Outlook. Is this possible?
NOTE: The idea is that I would like to use the iPad as the sole resource, instead of carrying our laptops around just to access the shared outlook calendar/schedule. The laptops are outdated junk that requires roughly 20 mins of time just to power up, connect and sign in to our servers...very inefficient.
Thank you!

No, I would recommed to use two separate iCloud accounts for mail, calendars, notes, reminders, contacts etc.

How do you add a reminder to a shared list in iCal

I'm trying to add a reminder to a shared list in iCal, but I do not see the list as an option in the "Get Info" window or in the "Calendar" menu list. This shared list was shared with me in iCloud, and if I log into iCloud.com, I can add the item there. I think I can also add via my phone, but I'm not sure. Also, I can see items in the shared list, and I can check them off. I just can't add.
I don't know if this is an iCloud issue, but I am able to add items in iCal to a shared list *I* created, just not to one that my wife created. Is there some setting in iCal to enable this?

It is not easy to see and I found it by messing around. First of all put them in daye order by dragging the screen down and touching the little alarm clock at the top. Then touch the space below the earlies reminder and a new one comes up. It defaults to 'today' so you have to touch the new reminder and then touch the 'i' button that appears. You can then change the date and time etc. No easy.
I dont understand why Apple do these thongs before updating the user guide!
Hope this helps.

Multiple Google calenders in iCal and on iPhone

I have a google calender account. I use the CalDAV to sync it with iCal. However, in google calenders you can create multiple calenders (for instance, one for work, one for home. Every calender with a different color). I can't seem to sync both calenders with iCal. Isn't that possible?
My girlfriend has a separate account on our MacBook. We now share the same (google) calender, but is it possible to share one calender and both have our separate calenders, but can read each others calender.
Second, I want the same calenders (so multiple, with different colors) on my Iphone. Can this be done?

Switched to MobileMe

Is there a max amount of calenders in ical?

Im currently organizing my schedule and creating new calendars for different things. I've created 10 calendars and it won't allow me to create any more. Is their a max amount of calenders in ical? If not, how do i fix the problem

sbrotherhood,
The only document that I know of which describes calendar limits is: iCloud: Limits for Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, and Bookmarks.
What happens when you attempt to create more than 10?
What names are you attempting to use?
Are the calendars being created "On My Mac?"

Use iCloud calenders in iCal on Leopard

Hey
Is it possible to use iCloud calenders in iCal on Leopard, OS X 10.5?
This is my server settings:
https://p02-caldav.icloud.com/825681252/principal/ (I have change the number for the unic icloud id)
When I type my username and password, iCal find the account but not the calenders...
/ Fredrik

if people can get it working with 10.6, there has to be SOME method to get it working for 10.5.8.
It IS just CALDAV technology, the tech has not changed between 10.5 and 10.6, just the ical interface
has anyone had any success?
Really appreciate any help.
Note: Before posting "you can't sync ical etc in less than 10.7.2", please read the post. Yes you can. it is done using Caldav with 10.6 by finding the server address in your plist. There is NO REASON why this shouldnt be workable in 10.5.8, but I haven't been able to get it going.
Thank you any repliers in advance

Can I shared calender via iCal with other, but not showing the detail of event, only as "busy"?

Hi,
I have successfully shared a few iCal calender with my PA (she can read only), but I do have a personal calender that I want her to know I am busy, but not necessary need her to know who I will be with
I know in google you can still display your calender event but just show it as busy instead of detail, are there anyway to do the same in iCal via iCloud?
My primary calender is iCal (on my two Mac, iphone and iPad), there were I do all my update ... I heard I could do the work around it by sync it to google calender and achieve the same as well, but that seems would be too complicated ...
(When I did a search I found similar question but they seems not using the latest app and iCloud, so sorry if I am duplicate question here)

iCloud calendar will not do what you are asking. Using Google calendar is a different thing, but I'm not familiar with it and using it with iCloud.

How do I merge calenders in iCal?

I would like to merge several calenders in ical together. Can anyone help?

Joe,
Organizing your local calendars
You can group similar calendars that you’ve created locally on your computer so that they appear together in the Calendars list. For example, you may want to group all the calendars for each person using your computer.
To group calendars under a name:
Choose File > New Calendar Group, or hold down the Shift key while clicking the Add + button in the lower-left corner of the iCal window, and then type a name for the group.
Add existing calendars to the group by dragging them under the group name, or select the group name and choose File > New Calendar to create a new calendar within the group.
Remove calendars from the group by dragging them out of the list.
;~)
