Syncing iCal with another person

Is it possible to sync an iCal calendar with another user that does not use MobileMe or even a Mac? I do have a MobileMe account but my friend does not, nor does he use a Mac. I would like to be able to access his calendar and somehow get his onto mine as an iCal calendar. Can this work if he used a Google calendar or would I need to buy some third party software, like BusyCal, in order to do that?

  • Is there a way to sync my ical with another person's ical?

    My husband and I both have icloud and we both have macs with ical on them.
    Is there way to sync our calendars -- essentially to take all the info i have on mine and get it to his computer and phone, etc?

    Correction to my previous note: [what i learned after trying it myself]
    In order to save the Lion OS onto an additional computer in your home... you don't sign in to iTunes on their computer -- you sign into the App Store (under the apple in the upper left corner) on their computer.
    Once you're in the App Store: Click on "Featured" on the top. Then, Click on "Account" (in the column to the right). Log in using the user id and password of the person/computer who purchased it.
    (You can purchase one OS for the home and use it on multiple computers -- per the genius/tech guy at the apple store.)
    Then, click on "Purchased" from the top row again (up there with "Featured") and you should see the Lion OS if you purchased it on your own computer. Click on "Install" and you're good to go!
    Follow prompts to complete installation.
    (Note: It may take a couple hrs -- and it makes a few things work and look differently, fyi.)
    Once you've got both computers working in the Lion OS, you can complete your iCloud registration.
    Now, after having install them, your computer should be syncing properly with your iPhone, etc.
    To share your calendar, open iCal, Click on "Calendar" at the top and scroll down to "Share Calendar" -- You'll need to share each "Calendar" or 'category of calendar' individually with the person/people you want to share that particular heading/category of your calendar with... You do so by chosing who you want to share with and typing in their email. They'll get a notice on their iCal in a little box at the top (and a number in a red circle will show above the iCal icon as well). They'll also receive an email asking them if they want to accept or decline sharing a particular calendar with you (or 'so & so'.)
    Either way -- once they accept it, all the stuff you've got saved in that particular category of your calendar will now show up on their calendar.
    My husband and I are finally on the same page!! He can see all our plans on his calendar on his iPhone!! Also -- when sharing, you can select to have others be able to 'read only' what you're syncing -- OR -- you can allow them to "read and write." in other words, they will have access to the calendars you're sharing and they can make edits to them if you allow them to "read and write."
    We are very pleased you can do this. I thought it was only possible to share calendars/have a mutual calendar with google calendar... Very happy you can share calendar info with others!! Woo hooo!!

  • How do I sync iCal with two iPhones?

    Simply put, I want to share my schedule with another person via iCal through iCloud. Can I just add an account to iCal and then it just works, or what more do I have to do? I want to be able to sync two different iphones on two different macs to the same calendar. PLEASE HELP. a Yes or No would suffice, and if YES please tell me how to do it! Thanks!

    You don't.  I asked Steve Balmer (CEO of Microsoft) and got this reply from his staff:
    Thank you for your feedback and your interest in Outlook for Mac 2011.
    Steve's office forwarded me your mail and asked me to reply. Outlook 2011
    syncs with Exchange and Office 365 calendars, but as you point out there
    is no consumer calendar service that syncs with Outlook 2011. Here's what
    I do to work around the lack of direct sync: I keep my family calendar on
    Hotmail Calendar, which works great through Safari on my Mac (and also
    other popular browsers like Chrome), and syncs directly to my iOS devices
    and my PC. I understand your frustration with not being able to see your
    personal calendar directly in Outlook for Mac. Contrary to your
    impression, we've never promised to add this feature, but we strongly
    consider customer feedback like yours as we plan future versions. Thanks
    again for your feedback and for taking time to write.
    Thank you,

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
     Cheers, Tom

  • I am trying to finish a book in InDesign CS2 with another person. My old XP computer became unstable and I had to get a Windows 7 computer. I was able to install CS2 on the Virtual XP Machine on my Windows 7 computer, but I cannot register or activate it.

    I am trying to finish a book in InDesign CS2 with another person. My old XP computer became unstable and I had to get a Windows 7 computer. I was able to install CS2 on the Virtual XP Machine on my Windows 7 computer, but I cannot register or activate it. Adobe no longer supports activation. Is there a way I can keep using CS2? I need to get files back and forth to my coauthor. I also have CS6. I understand that files can go form 2 to 6, but not backwards. Thanks Robert

    you can download a new installer and serial number from Adobe at Adobe - CS2 Downloads

  • How to sync ical with multiple apple devices and android?

    Does anybody have use an android phone in addition to apple devices, and have you figured out how to sync ical with all? (I know there are other calendars that can be used by all, but it means a lot to my husband to stay with ical.)

    I tried Yahoo in the past but had trouble with duplicate entries. However, this was a while ago before Yahoo updated their site and this was with syncing to a Windows computer with Outlook in addition to a Mac so my results might not be typical. Yahoo's worth a shot, but my experience with Yahoo is why I use Google Calendar.
    Beyond that, I don't know of any other "free" services. There are many other hosted calendar sites that could work, but you'd pay something like $5-$20 per month, which is comparable to MobileMe.

  • Have thunderbolt and need to sync ical with google calendar in order to use.  Any suggestions?

    Have a thunderbolt and MacBook.  Need to sync ical with google calendar as thunderbolt supports google calendar.  Any suggestions?

    I think we may be talking about two different things. Thunderbolt is the new two way display port on Mac Book Pros and Apple displays.
    Thunderbolt (originally codenamed Light Peak) is an interface for connecting peripheral devices to a computer via an expansion bus. Thunderbolt was developed by Intel and brought to market with technical collaboration from Apple Inc. It was introduced commercially on Apple's updated MacBook Pro lineup on February 24, 2011.
    Thunderbolt combines PCI Express and DisplayPort into a serial data interface. A single Thunderbolt port supports hubs as well as a daisy chain of up to seven Thunderbolt devices; up to two of these devices may be high-resolution displays using DisplayPort. You can move data to and from peripherals up to 20 times faster than with USB 2.0 and up to 12 times faster than with FireWire 800.

  • Many years ago synced iCal with Microsoft program. Since installing Lion whenever I try to create an event in iCal it flashes up message "Unable to open Microsoft sync services Power PC applications no longer supported." How do I get rid of message?

    Many years ago synced iCal with Microsoft program. Since installing Lion whenever I try to create an event in iCal it flashes up message "Unable to open Microsoft sync services Power PC applications no longer supported." How do I get rid of message?

    Lion no longer supports PowerPC apps. If this is Microsoft Office 2008 (Entourage 2008) then you should disable the syncing services.  (I don't have Office 2008 installed anymore so I don't know exactly what it's called anymore.)  If you have Microsoft Office 2004 or earlier, then it can't be run on Lion at all since Lion removed Rosetta, which is what allowed a PPC app to run on an Intel based Mac.
    Also, I believe Microsoft removed sync services from the current Outlook 2011 (which replaces Entourage) so even upgrading to a newer version of Microsoft Office will not get you back that calendar sync feature.  Supposedly Microsoft is working on a new syncing system, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

  • I had to format my HD, now iTunes says my iPOD is sync'd with another computer.  How do I get my iPOD's music back in to the library and sync it with the computer again?

    I had to format my computers hard drive.  Now the iTunes thinks my iPOD is sync'd with another computer.  How do I get re-sync the iPOD and computer and get my songs on the iPOD back in to the iTunes library.  Thanks!

    Can't tell you exactly, as it can be used to facilitate piracy and Apple blocks this sort of thing from occuring (except for itunes purchased music)
    But you can find out what your looking for at iLounge, i'd suggest that method for "mixed" music from different sources, that way you get it all back.
    Next time, hit the iTunes menu and backup your library to disks, only takes a few minutes and a few DVD-R's.
    Good Luck
