Sharing/publishing a calendar for webview

I created a calendar on my home computer for my kids sporting events to share with our family to view only on the web. The issue I'm having or I guess better stated, is the iCal location where you created the shared calendar the ONLY location that can update that calendar on the web?
Examples:
* I added the event "yellow" on my iMac's iCal and it updated to the web almost immediately after I refreshed the page.
* With iMac's iCal closed, I added the event "purple" from my iPhone and it updated to everywhere (other iPhone & me.com) except the web UNTIL I opened the iMac's iCal and then it updated to the web.
So what I'm basically asking is this....will a web viewed calendar ever be able to be updated from any of the mobileme enabled devices or will it only be able to be updated from the original iCal it was created in?

Rick,
...all of the grouped calendars should show up under the one calendar. They don't! It was kind of a crap shoot each time I tried it.
As long as they are user generated calendars, they should! Are they all user generated? Do they have any special formatting characters/numbers/hyphens in the name? Try simplifying the titles to eliminate this possibility.
About the best solution I could come up with was to publish each one individually, which is annoying...
I agree, but unless Apple changes the way calendars are displayed on the web I do not know of a way to make that happen.
Incidentally, is there a way to publish a calendar from mobileme?
In essence, you are already using MobileMe to publish the calendar, and AFAIK is no way to publish through the MobileMe Web application. Publishing has to be initiated from the client based iCal.
I would advise that you let Apple know about your needs/desires through: Apple - iCal - Feedback.

What is the best way to publish my calendar for free?

I want to know if there's an easy way to publish my calendar for free. We have a server at our work, that everybody has access to. Is there an easy way to publish it on that hard drive. Also how is the best way for Microsoft Outlook users to share there calendar for free to iCal users like me?
Thanks in advance

If the Mac came with Mountain Lion or Lion, press Command, Option and R keys on boot, open Disk Utility, erase the disk and reinstall Lion or Mountain Lion. If it came with Snow Leopard or older, insert the DVD, press C key on boot, go to Utilities > Disk Utility, erase the drive and reinstall Snow Leopard

Publishing iCal calendars for non iCal users?

Firstly I guess I should set out the ideal solution I want to acheive.
I am looking for a way to publish calendars from iCal to my hosting server which will be viewable by PC/non iCal users via a web browser. I'd have to do it via ftp as my servers do not currently support WebDav.
Currently I have managed to publish the calendars which are viewable via a browser which appear as a list of code rather than as a calendar.
Is there a way to do this using iCal or, dare I mention, another calendar/organiser software package?
PowerMac G5 2.5Ghz Dual + G4 1.67Ghz Powerbook 1Gb RAM Mac OS X (10.4.10) 20Gb 1st Generation ipod still working well!

Hello Julian,
Thanks for this. Excellent solution and pretty straight forward to set up. Wish I'd had this years ago.
Cheers again

Contacting publisher of calendar for edits

How do I contact someone to ask them to edit their calendar? I've subscribed to the Christian Holiday as well as the American Holiday calendar, but neither have certain holidays (like Ash Wednesday) on them. I'm a leader in my church, and need to have access to these dates on my iPhone (at meetings) or on my computer (when I get a phone call), so that I can answer questions.

Hi,
Please open Publisher in Safe Mode first:
Press Win + R and type “mspub /safe” in the blank box, then press Enter.
Then go to File -> Open to open the document, test if the problem persists. If there's no such issue when opening Publisher in Safe Mode, it should be an add-in issue, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify the cause.
To disable add-ins: File -> Options -> Add-Ins -> COM Add-ins -> Go -> Uncheck the checkboxes of the suspicious add-ins -> OK.

Publish calendar for Shared Mailbox

Hi,
I have shared mailbox that I really need to have the calendar to be publish online (the ics link). I tried using the website and outlook 2013 client. Both of them saying that the "storeID provided isn't an ID of an item." Is there a way to be able
to publish the calendar?

Hi,
We can enable Internet Calendar Publishing

My wife and I have shared one iTunes account for 6 years. We want to create our own Apple IDs, so when we sync to our new iMac we won't see each others contacts, photos, calendar, music, etc. Is there a way to move music/apps from one ID to a new ID?

No.
One of you create a new AppleID and one use the existing AppleID.
But you can still use the items in each iTunes library.
Create separate computer logins for each of you.
This will give you each your own data. Contacts, calendars, photos, etc. (and your own iTunes library).

Sharing or Publishing Multiple Calendars

I keep my calendar events in about 20 different iCal calendars so I can use color-coding and different views for different categories of events. This works fine between iCal and MobileMe, and to my iPhone and iPad. The problem comes when I want to share the calendar. I would like a couple of relatives to be able to see on the web exactly the view I see in iCal or MobileMe. As far as I can tell, I have to share each of the twenty calendars individually, and they have to be viewed with different URLs.
Is there an answer to this? As many have noted, it used to be possible and worked quite well.
I have a google account, but as far as I can tell Google calendar is no help.
I understand that if I were to consolidate all my events into one calendar this would all be easier, but I can't find any easy way to merge the events from my separate calendars into one calendar, even if I wanted to.
I would greatly appreciate any advice on a) finding a way to share a single view of all of my calendars, or b) merging the events from many separate calendars into a single calendar.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

langert3,
You would have to upgrade to Tiger to publish several calendars as a group.
Publishing calendars to .Mac: If you're using iCal 2.0 or later, you can create Calendar groups and publish them to .Mac. If you publish a Calendar group, all the events and To Do information from the calendars in the group is merged and published in one calendar. You can also choose to publish individual calendars in the group.Unfortunately that feature is not available in iCal 1.5.5.

Is there a fix for seeing bolded dates in navigation calendars for shared calendars (when appts have been made on certain dates) as was the case in Office 2003?

Is there a fix for seeing bolded dates in navigation calendars for shared calendars (when appts have been made on certain dates) as was the case in Office 2003?
Looks like in 2011 someone posted on the forum that it was being looked into, but has there been a fix? It's now two years later?
Thank you!!

Hi,
According to your description, it seems that the issue is related to Outlook 2003. This forum focus on Exchange 2013. Additionally, Outlook 2003 is no longer supported in Exchange 2013.
I suggest we can ask this question in Outlook forums for more professional answers:

Exchange Outlook 2013 freezes when deleting shared calendar for employees who have been removed

Hi,
I am removing users' shared calendars from my outlook 2013 in exchange environment. The problem is, that the shared calendars belong to users who have left the company and have been removed from the domain, this is causing outlook to freeze because i think
it's trying to find the entry then delete it, rather than delete it.
There is no problem deleting a shared calendar for an user who still is in the domain. This seems to be strictly affecting users who have left the domain.

Hi,
Generally, if the shared calendar owner is removed from the Exchange environment, the shared calendar which was added before should be removed from Outlook client normally.
Please use Outlook with Exchange cached mode, and make sure the shared calendar was not added in Advanced tab in Account Settings. Please start Outlook in safe mode and remove the shared calendar to have a try.
If the issue doesn’t happen in safe mode, please disable the third-party add-ins one by one to find out the cause.

Can multiple users alter a published ical calendar/to do list?

two people , both with .mac accounts and used to using and publishing ical calendars, want a shared task list and shared calendar. both should be able to alter both.
is it possible?
thanks
e

This is exactly what a colleague and I want to do - and two more colleagues will want to join in on our shared calendar and to do list soon . All of us have .mac accounts etc. Surely lots of people would want this straightforward feature too....
We don't, however, want to have to swap our .mac login details with each other. If I understand you right Gotham, that is what your soultion is. Thanks but not suitable for me.
If iCal can't do this, why not? and what can?

Publish iCal calendar to local network disk?

The Misses and I would like to share calalendars in a way other than shouting out information to one another across the room. We recently purchased a Time Capsule and would like to publish our calendars to the TC harddisk. (We did this previously with another network disk we have but used a different router to configure it)
Based on our previous success at doing this, I presume we only need an ip address for the hard disk to set it up. I can't remember how we did this in the past and I don't want to use a program other than ical to do this.
I just want my calendar and her calendar to publish to the disk so that we can each subscribe to the others.
Can anyone help me with this?

There was a previous discussion that may help. Do a search for local network shareing, but expand out to all year. This may be what you need. Haven't tried it myself yet, but it looks like it may be the answer. I have the same need as you, BTW.
Re: Entering iCal from a network
Posted: Mar 22, 2008 5:51 PM in response to: Fulvio Pietramala
You need to use a product like BusySync to selectively share calendars across a network. Your present approach is guaranteed to fail, and to corrupt your event and task data.

Publishing iCal Calendars

I have MobileMe, using to sync my iMac, MacBook and iPhone. If I didn't want to publish certain of my calendar groups i could just eliminate the on my mac calendars. But I want to publish!!!! You don't seem to be able to publish any calendars other than the "on my mac" ones. Seems kind of silly that you can't publish to MobileMe from MobileMe. Work around is to create a calendar on my mac and then export to the mobile me calendar to desktop and then drag and drop to the new "on my mac" calendar to publish but then you have to go though this process every time changes are made. Surely I am missing something.

Ralph,
Publishing has taken on a new meaning in Apple terminology. It seems that your definition of "Publish," and Apple's definition of "Sharing" may be very similar.
Take a look at these two articles for some insight:
1. iCal 4.0 Help: Sharing a MobileMe calendar.
2. MobileMe Help: Share a calendar with others.

Suddenly cannot change the calendar for an event in iCal?

When I creart new events, they now automatically are asigned to the top calendar group (as listed on the left side of the iCal screen). When I try to edit the event and asign it to a different calendar, the menu only shows the calendar groups, all in grey, not the individual calendars.
When I go to preferences to investigate what's going on, I only see the calendar groups, all in grey, not the individual calendars.
When I click on the "+" sign in the top-left corner, same problem, only the calendar groups appear, all in grey.
Why can I suddenly not access these calendars when editing an event? Why do they stop showing up in the editing menus?
The calendar still show up in the list menu on the left. I still can add new calendars and new calendars groups. The problem occurs when I try to assign an event to a specific different calendar.

Saw your post Beth over on my thread but I thought I would respond on this one since we're all here.
Hi y'all (^_^)
Sorry to meet under such horrid circumstances, but it's nice to know that I'm not the only one.
I've found out a few things that didn't work so here's the list to save you both some heartache.
No type of re-install fixes is. Not a partial reinstall of the OS where you keep your data or a full wipe.
Checking your permissions or scanning the disk for errors doesn't work either. Creating a dummy user account to see if the problem ports over is a waist of time. If you don't have free support on your machine don't spend money on opening a ticket.
The problem is specific to the Mountain Lion release 10.8.3. The only fix that I have found while I wait on apple is to regress back to 10.8.1 (18.8.2 has the issue also) . . . reverting isn't hard to do with this nifty program I found but nearly impossible for me as I purchased my iMac in February of this year and the firmware came with 10.8.3 in the recovery partition. I've been scowering the net looking for anyone with a 10.8.1 full install dmg (not the update) but everyone either thinks I'm pirating software or doing something impossible so needless to say I'm still running 10.8.3
But all is not as bad off as we think. The problem is only with Calendar (or contacts, whichever place originated the problem as I have found the majority of people on the net who have encountered this did so while in the Contacts program not Calendar). This is a good thing! Because since the problem is unique to the software of origin (Calendar for us) that means we can still use use Calendar and the cross-program functions of Calendar (like creating an even from mail or inviting someone from your contacts) as if nothing is wrong. All programs that read event or calendar files work just great, only Calendar is having the issue. In other words, keep using Calendar like there isn't a problem.
This is a hard pill for me to swallow because I see that there is still a problem and I am itching to fix it. My obsession is only causing me to drink. I have tested this theory by creating a whole new schematic on iCal where I have 6 new Calendar groups all with at least 3 calendars in it and multiple events. (I'm a small business so they're not just dummy events). The great news is everything works like it should as long as I take precautions.
Here are those precautions:
1 - When creating a new event MAKE SURE YOU ARE IN THE CALENDAR YOU WANT THAT EVEN TO BE IN since you won't be able to use the drop down and choose later because it is greyed out for us.
2 - If you run into this loop where you can't save changes to an event (happened to me a few times when the problem first materilized) just pop the calendar that even is inside to the base calendar list. In other words, take the calendar out of the group, make your changes, then click and drag it back into the group. Even if the event is recurring everything will be fine. Groups only alter the hierarchy of how iCal stores and displays the files, not the files themselves which is why other programs aren't having a problem reading them.
After I made my slew of new groups I tried a few things out to make sure everything was actually still working and it all came out perfect. You can still publish, sync to google, or iPhone, or android and things will display just as you expect them too. Reminders even worked. The problem is ONLY inside iCal and even then only when trying to use that drop down menu.
Long story short, if you can deal with knowing in your gut that things are f.u.b.a.r but keep going about using iCal as if it isn't, then you will survive the long wait (prob 2-3 weeks) until the 10.8.4 patch comes out or worse yet the 10.8.5 major release this summer.
Sorry this is such a long post (and for the misspellings) but sharing is caring so let's get through this together. Plus I don't know about y'all, but I spent 3K on my iMac so if this b!tch ain't gonna work like it's suppose to then it better be because of something major. . . I figured you all might be feeling the same so I should tell you just how major this bug is. And it is major, so much so that people are literally creating programs to disenfiect 10.8.3 out of their machine. If the application developer working with me comes up with a fix I will update the thread. Until then, try not to pull you hair out (~_~)

Securely publishing iCal calendars via .Mac

i want to securely share (publish/subscribe) calendars among just the members of my family. we share a .Mac family account with a Shared iDisk folder that is, in theory, for our exclusive use.
if i publish to .Mac, it appears the calendars are viewable by anyone with the correct URL, not just my family.
if i try to publish to a Private Server using the URL for the .Mac Shared folder (Base URL: http://idisk.mac.com/myaccountname/Shared), the required Login: account name intrudes into the syntax for the pathname to the location. text box says "Publish failed for calendar "xxx". Could not create calendar on http://[email protected]/accountname/shared/calendarname.ics"
any ideas on how to securely share iCal calendars among family members on .Mac?
thanks very much.

after a couple more hours of digging, i answered my own question.
here's a relevent article with the answer: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61725
the .Mac Family Pack includes an iDisk Shared folder to which all accounts (master account and up to 4 sub-accounts) have shared access. by substituting "Shared" for "Documents" in the URL pathname syntax in the article, i was able to publish calendars into the Shared folder. then, subscriptions were per the article except that any family member's account name and password provided access to the folder.
i think i just had the syntax wrong for publishing to begin with. i don't remember for sure, but i think i may have been using "www.mac.com" instead of "idisk.mac.com".
anyway, it appears to be working.

Publish outlook calendar to external users

I would like to publish my calendar to external user.
I am in Exchange 2007 server SP2 Roll up 10, using outlook 2010 client. Using WebDAV server, we can publish the same but is there any other options are available for the same? Any third party apps or tools?

Hi,
Apart from this method, we can also use a calendar on Outlook.com, which can be shared to other Outlook.com users - This only works when other users also have an Outlook.com/Hotmail.com account.
If you already have a WebDAV server and can publish your calendar on it, it's absolutely easier than any other 3rd-party tool as I can say.
