Syncing iCal calendars without .Mac

My wife has two computers, desktop and laptop. She would like to be able to sync her calendars, one from each machine. Is this possible without .Mac membership. If so, could someone please tell me how it's done?
I do have a .Mac membership. Is it legal for her to publish her calendars to my .Mac and then subscribe to them so they'd show up on her two machines.
Any help at all with this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Martin,
Try iSynCal: iSynCal is built to synchronize events and todo from iCal calendars between two or more Mac computers using the standard Apple File Sharing shipped with Mac OSX. Using iSynCal, you no longer need a .Mac account neither to publish your calendars on an external FTP or WebDav server.
You can even use iSynCal to sync your iCal calendars with your iPod or between multiple users on the same Mac.Regarding your second question, legality is not the issue, since the .Mac account belongs to your username, only you can publish calendars to that account.

How do I sync iCal on my mac with OS 8 devices

How do I sync iCal on my mac with OS 8 devices

Hi jgiolma,
Since you do not mention what version of the Mac operating system you are running on your MacBook Pro it is a little hard to answer your question. For computers running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 or later one way to sync your calendars would be to use iCloud. See this article for minimum system requirements for iCloud -
System requirements for iCloud
Information on using iCloud for your calendars can be found here -
iCloud: Calendar overview and
iCloud: Using iCloud Calendars with Calendar and iCal
More general information about iCloud is available here -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Can I sync iCal calendars from two iMac's together?

Can I sync iCal calendars from two iMac's together?

No you cannot sync an iPhoto library between two macs. If you do you will corrupt the iPhoto Library file. iPhoto is a consumer level app, and this feature is not supported.
What you can do is share the photos but not the library. Each machine will need to have it's own library file.
The easiest way to do it this is to enable sharing (in the iPhoto Preferences) on both machines (one sharing the library, the other looking for the share). When you do this the shared library will appear in the Source (or left-hand) pane and pics can be dragged from that to the library in the other machine.

Since I down loaded Mavericks I can't sync calendars with iPhone. How can I sync iPhone calendar and Mac calendar

Since I downloaded Mavericks on my Mac I can't sync calendars with iphone. How can I sync iphone calendars with Mac calendar?

Mavericks syncs Calendar via iCloud.
Make sure you have the same iCloud account set up on your mac and your iPhone.
In System Preferences > iCloud, make sure the Calendars checkbox is checked.
In System Preferences > Internet Accounts, iCloud should be an account in the box on the left, and Calendars should be checked in the box on the right. If you have other calendars, for example, from work, make sure those are enabled too.
Check the same settings on your iPhone: in Settings > iCloud, make sure the same iCloud account info is present and that the Calendars slider is on. in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, make sure the iCloud account is present, and that the Calendars slider is on.

Sync iCal across multiple macs WITHOUT internet

Here is something for the experts out there...
I have a Mac at home, with my iCal.
I have a Mac at work, with an iCal.
How do i get these two computers to sync back and forth WITHOUT using the internet (i don't have the NET at home)...
I can sync my iPOD to my home calander, but when i get to work, it doesn't matter, because i would need my WORK computer to sync to my iPOD's calander, then i can update my work, put it BACK onto my iPOD and then do the same at home, but there doesn't seem to be this feature.. i need to be able to alter calander files and take them with me...

Interesting, never knew there was an iCloud website. Ironically, it wouldn't open in Safari (just got a spinning progress wheel), but it opened up fine in Chrome. :/
So, I logged into iCloud under my wife's Apple ID, clicked on the calendar icon, then clicked on those icons to the right of the two calendars shown (Home and Work), selected Private Calendar, and added my email address which is linked to my Apple ID. I hoped that would do the trick to allow me to see her calendar entries in iCal in my account, but it didn't.
Am I correct that the process outlined above should display my wife's entries onto my iCal calendar? Or do I need to go view her calendar online somewhere instead of seeing the entries on my own iCal calendar?

How to sync galaxy calendar with Mac's iCal?

I am a Mac user. I have a iCal on my MacAir and iPad. My phone is Galaxy s4 mini. Can I sync iCal with the phone's calendar? Thanks

maryaventura,
I definitely understand the importance of syncing your iCal to your Galaxy s4 Mini, however we don't have any information on how to do this. There are some third party applications you can search to manage the transfer.

Syncing ical between 2 macs without .mac account, is it possible?

Hi all,
I have an iMac and a Macbook Pro and want to be able to sync iCal over the 2 machines so that entries added/updated on one will appear on the other.
I don't have a .mac account and don't really want to get one as this is all I would be using it for. So is this possible without a .mac account?
The two computers are not yet networked (I think) however they do share the same broadband internet connection through the same Belkin router, so I presume I can connect the two through this way (that will be my next question!!!)
How is the easiest way to achieve this?
Cheers,
Andrew

take a look at busysync, I think that will help you achieve what you want to do with your two computers over a local network.

How can I sync my calendar form mac to iPhone without having to use iCloud?

There used to an option called sync calendar under the summary of your iPhone on iTunes, but I could no longer find that option. I wouldn't really want to sync my calendar using iCloud because my calendar on iCloud is blank and I don't really want to retype everything again. Or is there any way I can sync my current calendar on mac to the one on iCloud?

I read the title. It has nothing to do with what the OP is really wants.
When replying in a helpful manner, one needs to read everything (the title and the entire post) and make an attempt to understand what they want.
The OP does not want to lose the library on the computer.
I will repeat it for you...
"I wouldn't really want to sync my calendar using iCloud because my calendar on iCloud is blank and I don't really want to retype everything again."
This line shows the OP does not understand how it works and also shows that the thread title is not really what the OP wants.
gumsie wrote:
The post I've linked to tells him how to use a server to do it. Read that entire post too.
Why would the OP use a server when the OP is fine using iCloud to sync?
Indeed, the OP asks (in the same post even) how to sync using iCloud (which is in direct conflict with the thread title).
"is there any way I can sync my current calendar on mac to the one on iCloud?"
PNWD!

Sync iCal across two Macs w/o .Mac

How do I sync the iCal calendar across two Macs without using .Mac? I have heard of iSyncCal but right now their website is offline and I can't get to it. Other solutions?

TS3999 Using OS Mavericks. Any way to sync Contacts & Calendars without using iCloud? Don't always have internet!

Any way to sync ical and contacts without internet?!!

Not unless you want to install OS X server and set up your own CardDAV and CalDAV server as explained here: http://www.macworld.com/article/2061183/itunes-ios-syncing-gone-solve-it-with-se rver-.html. That would allow you to sync contacts and calendars locally with your Mac as you could before Mavericks.

Syncing 2 calendars without publishing?

The misses and I need to check schedules often. We live together and both have macs. Is there a way to subscribe to her ical calendar and she mine without publishing to a server? When she comes home and turns on her macbook pro I see it right away on my computer. I pop up on her computer as well. Since the machines recognize one another, can I have my ical automatically check her ical for changes and vice versa?
If not, can I use our LaCie Ethernet mini storage disk as an ftp server on which a shared ical calender is stored that we both use. I tried subscribing to the afp//ipaddress of the storage disk but that didn't work. Thanks for any help you can provide to make this technology work to our advantage. Cheers.
NB Ive just tried publishing to the HTTP enable service on the storage device and got this message:
Published failed for Calendar "Home"
'Request for http://[email protected]/ical/Home.ics failed.
The server responded with
"HTTP/1.0 501 Not Implemented"

Simply use BusySync to share and edit each others iCal calendars.

Syncing iCal to Outlook Mac 2011

Folks,
I am running the latest version of Lion with Outlook 2011 for Mac. My principal calendar is maintained on Google as it sync quite well with Pocket Informant. Despite many attempts I am unable to sync iCal with Outlook 2011. Google sync quite well with iCal via a utility, but despite setting sync services to on, Outlook 2011 does not sync with iCal. Can anyone offer suggestions here?
Many Thanx
LRB55

The bottom line is that Office for Mac does not support CalDAV, which is the type of calendar hosted by Google and iCloud. Outlook will only sync calendars with iCal that were:
1. Created in Outlook.
2. Created in iCal "On My Mac".
If a calendar is created "On My Mac", then it is hosted locally (on your Mac) and Outlook can sync to it.
If it's created in Google or iCloud, then it's hosted on a server in the cloud. iCal syncs to that server using CalDAV. Outlook doesn't support CalDAV, so it can't sync with those calendars.

Syncing iCal calendar todos with Mobile Me todos

Hi
I am using 10.5.8.
Omnifocus will only sync my todos with the iCal calendar on my Mac.
I use and sync events with Mobile Me.
Is there anyway I can sync the iCal Calendar todos on my local mac with one of my MobleMe calendars?
Thanks
Gus

This will be no consolation. But I'm having the same problem. For me the issue began when I signed up for the MobileMe iCal beta (at least I think that's the culprit).
I was no longer able to sync iCal to the MobileMe server after the update (and I kept getting an error message in iCal). I downgraded back to the "regular" MobileMe iCal and got the iCal on my iMac up and running again.
However, now I don't seem to be able to sync my iPhone with Mobile me. I've turned it off from settings and turned it back on, but it's not working.

Letting two users share one synced iCal Calendar

Hi all,
I'm looking for a way to share a single iCal calendar between two users, giving both users the ability to make changes to the calendar. Is this possible with Apple's iCal?
As an example, say I'd like to create a calendar for a trip itnerary. I'm in New York and my host ("Sara") is in San Francisco. I open my iCal, select the "Itinerary" calendar and enter a few events into it. Then, Sara opens her iCal and it automatically loads the "Itinerary" calendar, showing the events I've entered. Knowing San Francisco better than I do, she decides to alter my "Explore Chinatown" entry by extending the hours. The next time I open my iCal, I see the changes Sara made in the "Itinerary" calendar.
I'm sure this has probably been asked before, but even though I searched for it I couldn't find information answering this question. If you can point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!

Mac OS X (10.4.3) iCal Version 2.0.3

If I understand .Mac's services correctly, it
features the ability to let users subscribe to a
calendar, that is read another person's published
calendar, but NOT to make changes on that calendar
and then send these changes back to the publisher,
transparently. Unless I'm mistaken in this regard,
.Mac does not provide a means to let two users share
a single iCal calendar which they can BOTH make
changes to and BOTH keep synced with the other user's
calendar.
yes it does!!!!!!!!
simply log into the single .mac account from any number of computers and use isync. We do this every day between our office & home computers. The calenders in ical are idendical on both. Any alteration can be synced to .mac and the other computer will pick up the change next time it is synced. If there is a conflict, isync will ask which version (either .mac or the computer being synced) to use.
I think that you are confusing publishing calenders and syncing them
However, even if that can be done with .Mac (and if
it can, I'd love to learn how), I require a solution
that doesn't utilitze .Mac because in my particular
situation, the other user with whom I want to share
calendars does not have a .Mac subscription and will
not be able to get one.
The other user does not need a .mac account. The whole point is that they are syncing to the one (ie your) account.
Therefore, I need a solution
that does not rely on .Mac.
Wrong. It would seem that .mac would work.
The only problem is that all the calenders in ical will sync.

Syncing ical(calendars) to device via itunes

I am not sure how to go about this. I would like to be able to sync my ical to device. Would like to know what changes, if any, need to be made on my device, ical, and itunes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had duplicate birthday entries in iCal (that came from my Address Book); here's what I did.
Previously my address book had entries some in "On my mac" and others in "iCloud". Using address book, I copied all the entries from "On my mac" into iCloud then deleted all the entries in "On my mac".
This enabled me to sync with other devices using iCloud. All then everything looked ok.
In the event that my broadband might fail and I did not have access to iCloud, I copied all the entries in "iCloud" into "On my mac". That's whe the duplicate entires showed up.
It seems that iCal picks up birthday entries from "On my mac" and "iCloud".
My iPhone Calendars application allows me to select "On my iPhone", "All iCloud" or "Show all calendars". The latter gives duplicate birthdays but selecting either of the others doesn't.
Unfortunately iCal on my mac does not seem to have the option to select birthdays from "On my mac", "iCloud" or "All calendars" so the only way I could stop the duplicates was to delete the Address Book entries in "On my mac".
It seems Apple's implementation and my expectations of it are different. Alternatively, the software needs a bit more effort to make sure "it just works".
I never had these problems with MobileMe - seems by the time they got that working OK it had been decided to "rebrand" away the initial poor reputation (that seems to be the fashionable thing to do nowadays), dumb it down, remove several great features and go back to square 1 instead of building and improving on what was already there. So disappointing!
