View colleagues' exchange calendar in iCal?

Hi!
I can see my own Exchange calendar just fine with iCal 4 from the corporate Exchange server.  However, colleagues have also shared their Exchange calendars with me - which I can see just fine on Webmail / Exchange 2007, but I would also like to view these shared calendars in iCal.
Any help would be well appreciated!
Thank you,
Greg.

Hi guys,
"googling" I found this applescript:
tell application "iCal"
          set color of calendar "Calendar" to choose color default color {0, 0, 0}
end tell
Waiting for an Apple fix, you can use this. It's wok like a charm!

  • Viewing/sharing outlook calendars in ical

    I am trying to view a colleagues outlook calendar in ical. I've gone through the process of sharing and adding via the outlook web app and i can see their calendar fine via web browser. I'm struggling to see it in iCal however. I go to add the calendar to my iMac calendar via  calendar > preferences > accounts > delegation. I type in their email address and it pops up as they're a contact/we're on the same network. I add them and then in the delegation list they appear as 'greyed out'. I've gone through this process with all of my colleagues, some it works for and some it doesn't. Sometimes some of them are greyed out and other times they are there and let me tick 'show'.
    All calendars are visible and working via outlook web app. Only some let me see them in iCal.
    This is very frustrating! Anyone have any solutions?

  • Remove Exchange Calendar from iCal

    I have an Exchange Calendar in iCal (Mountain Lion) that I want to remove. How can I do this? If I select it and choose Edit the Delete option is greyed out. The account is not listed in Preferences > Advanced either.
    I want to delete it because every time I receive an invitiation in Outlook for Mac, the invite is being placed in the iCal calendar, but does not appear in my Outlook calendar.

    I think I discovered where iCal/Calendar is getting the Exchange calendar data from. Initially I wondered whether the iPad/iPhone were doing something odd, but no, the Exchange mail account was set to sync Contacts and Calendar on both, via Active Sync.
    I then plugged both devices into the Macbook and opened iTunes and checked the Info tab - "Sync Calendars" was not ticked.
    I then discovered that in Mountain Lion a change was made to the Mac System Preferences under Mail, Contacts and Calendar - I saw my Exchange account listed and so clicked to edit it. It brought up a screen showing that Calendar was ticked. I unticked this and my appointments sent to me in Outlook are no longer appearing in ical - which is what i wanted.
    Hope this might help someone else.

  • Manually change color of Exchange calendar in iCal?

    Good evening. Got kind of an odd problem...and not really sure when it became an issue, although I think it happened after I upgraded to Lion. But for whatever reason I cannot get to the 'Get Info' part of one of my calendars that is an Exchange calendar. I can right-click on all of my iCloud calendars and get to the get info section in order to change colors, sharing, etc, but when I click the get info option on my Exchange calendar, nothing happens.
    Not sure when this became the case, because I know I used to be able to change the color.
    Was wondering if maybe there was a preference file that I could manually edit in order to change the color, or if someone else has run into this and found a solution.
    Thanks a bunch.

  • Publish Exchange calendar from iCal

    I've gotten my Exchange calendar to work with iCal nicely using 10.6. This is great. But:
    Is there a way to publish an Exchange calendar that is in iCal? The "Publish" option is grayed out for my Exchange calendars.
    I can publish other calendars just fine (after forcing iCal to work in 32 bit mode).
    Note that I am not talking about syncing to MobileMe. I know that this is not supported. However, I expected that I could "publish" to a web server, such as the one hosted by MobileMe.
    For a while now, I've done this by using Entourage to sync Exchange to iCal. The Entourage calendar can be published to the web. I was really hoping that with 10.6 I could finally stop using Entourage.

    I'm having a similar issue. My boss has set up a calendar in exchange that is synced with my iCal, and the appointments do appear, however my personal calendar from exchange is not showing any of my appointments... any ideas?

  • Can't share Exchange calendar in iCal (CalExhangeErrorDomain 239)

    I'm on a Microsoft Exchange 2007 server and I'm trying to share my calendar events with the other users in the office using Snow Leopard's iCal. I've gone through the delegation process and have no problems viewing theirs, but when I try to share mine, I get the attached error that reads
    "The server responded with an error. Unknown error from Exchange Server. CalExchangeErrorDomain 239."
    Other Mac users on our network have been able to share calendar events with Outlook users no problem (albeit through Entourage...puke) so I don't think it's a server issue, unless its just an issue with my account.
    Anybody have any suggestions? Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hi there,
    I have tested this out on my backup disk and there is a slight modification to the method. Will highlight this with quotation.
    ================================================================================ ==
    It appears that once upgraded to Mavericks, the calendar folders are no longer compatible with the latest version of iCal. Hence why it crashes.
    To remediate,
    Close the iCal App
    Duplicate the folder (For Backup reason)     /Users/YOURPROFILE/Library/Calendar
    Delete all content with in      /Users/YOURPROFILE/Library/Calendar
    Go to:-
    System Prefences | Internet Account | iCloud
    Uncheck Calendars, Recheck Calendars
    Select the iCloud profile
    Press "-" to delete the whole iCloud profile.
    Recreate the iCloud profile by select "+" then iCloud
    Enter your iCloud Username and Password
    It will asked you if you wish to merge the database. (You may have to do this more then once)
    For every other google calendar
    Uncheck Calendars (if already checked), Recheck Calendars
    Hopefully this will recreate all the calender folders within /Users/YOURPROFILE/Library/Calendar and start re-syncing.
    Once you are satified that all your calender are syncing, delete the /Users/YOURPROFILE/Library/Calendar copy
    Good Luck.

  • Viewing Delegate Exchange Calendars in iOS 5

    I have looked high and low, but want to make sure this CANNOT be done right now and hopefully someone has a work around.
    We have an exchange server at work and I have an account. There is one main calendar which has all of the employees as delegates with read/write access.  After much tinkering, I was able to get the calendar as a delagate in iCal.  Beautiful.  No errors.
    Now, how do I go about seeing that Calendar on my phone?  I only know the emai address for the account holder of the calendar.  I do not know the password, as it should be.
    I have iphone utility and run a profile for this account.  I can edit the profile, if there is a way to add a delegate calendar there, but could not see a route.
    Any and all help is always appreciated,
    Debbie

    I'm a bit confused.  You say: "What I would like to do is have our 15 mac users be able to view only a shared calendar from outlook."
    First, there is no way I know of for them to see only a delegated calendar in the Calendar app (no longer called iCal in 10.8, FYI).  They have to have their own primary calendar, then they can see a delegated calendar from a specific user below the primary one and will see that shared caledar based on whatever permission they have.
    The question is: does each Mac users have their own Exchange account? 
    If so, you should be able to share the calendar you want to share from the sharing user's Outlook 2010 by right clicking the calendar in question and giving any of a variety of rights to any user under the domain.  You have to search for the user you want to delegate to and add them, but you can definitely add them.  (I am speaking based on my experience with Outlook 2011, which is considered an inferior product compared to Outlook 2010, so 2010 should be just as capable of this if not more.  You could also use a similar process using Outlook Web Access [a.k.a. OWA] online i.e. webmail.)
    If they don't have their own account and you are trying to use just one Exchange account for all 15 Mac users (which is inviting headaches, IMHO), it should still be possible, but only to do what I said above i.e. they have a primary calendar, then see a delegated calendar with whatever permissions you specified.
    Again, I 100% know this can work using Outlook for Mac 2011.  It's very hard to believe Outlook 2010 cannot do the same thing.  And you can always resort to OWA.
    If you think you've done all this right and it still isn't working in the Calendar app, I'd suggest trying your setup in a trail verison of BusyCal.  The developer just added Exchange support and it's a great product.  You can download a 30 day trial from the website.  If everthing works, you know it's a Calendar app issue and you can call Apple for support. If it doesn't, then you either have a problem on the configuration side (your problem) or Office 365 isn't working like it's supposed to (Microsoft's problem - reach out to support).
    Good luck!

  • Is there a Google Sync Alternative for sync'ing Exchange Calendar with iCal?

    Previously, I was using Google Sync (one-way) to sync calender events between my microsoft outlook calendar and google calendar which I then had sync'd with my iphone.  I had to format my computer and now when I try looking for the software (Google Sync) it looks to only be available for Google Apps Business Accounts now.  I read up online and it looks like Google has made this change earlier in the year.
    Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can have my outlook calendar events updated on my iphone without connecting directly to the exchange server?
    Thanks

    Google calendar will sync with your phone directly. Choose Calendar as one of the things to sync under your Gmail acount settings. I would then check the Google help docks for information on how to sync your computer calendar to Google Calendar.
    For what it's worth, I stopped using a calendar app on my computer years ago. I just go directly to the Google Calendar through my browser. Yes, I actually do have it synced to iCal but, as I hate iCal, I never look at that app or use it to enter appointments.

  • Setting up exchange calendar on iCal for existing exchange account

    I already had my exchange email setup in Mail (which is working exactly as before), so there was no Mail setup so it didn't run (I'm guessing) the auto setup for calendar and address book to make use of the new integration. So how do I do that without disturbing my existing Mail setup? I don't see anything in iCal in add-calendar that allows you to specify that its on an exchange server. Likewise for address book.
    Of course maybe this did run and our exchange server does not have auto-discovery on or is not 2007 (I'm looking into that as well).
    -jrg

    Yes clock/date is correct (via ntp).
    Mail was already setup for me since this was an update from 10.5 . I don't recall that the setup thing did any sort of "welcome to mail" thing as it was already setup, and I wouldn't want to create a new account anyway. I want it to run auto-discovery( (for address book and calendar) on my existing mail (exchange) account.

  • Exchange Calendar and iCal : it works with the iPhone, not the Macs

    I use iCal with Google Calendar, either on my Macs and iPhone and I am plenty satisfied.
    I also need, for my job, tu use an exchange (2007) calendar. It works fin on my iPhone but it doesn't want to start on the Macs. It asks fot an echange server update. Why is it doing differntly on both platforms: OS X and iOS?
    Is there a turn around method, cause my IT departement is not willing to consider this upgrade...
    Thnak you for your advices.

    Hi Electrojim,
    Perhaps both are great tools to use. Just like virus scanners, its nice to have more than one just in case one did not detect another.

  • HT2513 Is it possible to change the color scheme of a Microsoft Exchange calendar in iCal?

    My Exchange account is running 2007 version software.  I tried Control+Click and Go To Info (like I do for my iCloud calendars), but the Info menu does not pop up.  Any ideas why?

    Make a Shape > Inspector > Graphic > Tinted Image Fill > Scale to fit > browse to image > click on the color patch to change the color to what you want
    or
    Drag in an image > overlay it with a Shape > select the color for the shape and change its Opacity
    Shapes may have Gradient and Advanced Gradient (multiple colors) fills both linear and radial. Both are in the Graphic Inspector as is Opacity.

  • Can I view my exchange server appointments with ical / mobile me?

  • ICal Shared Exchange Calendar Stopped Working

    I have been successfully accessing the Johns Hopkins Exchange servers for mail, address book, and calendar services on my Mac for months. In iCal I had also been accessing a shared Exchange calendar for many months. About 1-2 months ago, I lost access to this shared calendar in iCal only. Since I can still access it from Outlook on a PC, it seems something must have changed on my Mac. I still have access to my own exchange calendar in iCal, but when I go to re-setup the shared calendar in the account set up window, it shows that the shard calendar exists in the list of available calendars, but the indicator spins and spins without ever revealing my delegate privileges. Did Apple change something that is blocking access to my delegate privileges in iCal?
    Thanks for any help,
    Bill Convey

    I would suggest to go into the options for that exchange server on your Pre and reset the calendar preference (that is: change it to not sync the calendar, save those settings, then switch it to 'on' again).
    After doing this, perform the following action:
    -Open your Contacts App
    -Select Preferences & Accounts from the dropdown menu
    -Scroll to the bottom of that page and select "Sync Now".
    This should resync all data on all Accounts on your phone.
    Please note: It may take up to 10 minutes to sync all data from all Accounts. If you do not see all synced information after 10 minutes, perform a soft reset (shutdown your phone and restart it).

  • Unable to add delegate calendars in iCal

    I'm using OS 10.6.7 and am on an Exchange 2010 server and have it hooked into iCal. It shows my calendar just fine, but when I go into preferences->account->delegation and hit the plus button to add a delegate, I can enter a username of a delegate into the appropriate field, but when I click away (hitting the "enter" key just goes down a line, which is odd for when I'm entering what should be a single-line item) , the text I've just entered disappears and I'm left with an empty list. So, effectively, I cannot add a delegate exchange calendar to iCal.
    I know that permissions for the exchange calendar are correct serverside, because I can view the delegate's calendar just fine from Exchange webmail. It's just in iCal that it won't add. Any ideas? I have tried deleting and re-adding the exchange account in iCal, and that doesn't help.

    iCAL (Calendar) may be unable to access a shared calendar if the person's access to it is defined using a group that contains another group to provide access..  The access must be an account within the membership of the group not a group entered as a member of the group.
    For example: SharedCalendarA has a group named All-Teams with Reviewer access.  All-Teams has a Red-Team, Green-Team, etc groups listed in it.  PersonA's account is listed in Red-Team.  PersonA may not be able to access ShardCalendarA since All-Teams is being used to control access.  However, if Red-Team is used instead access will work.  It seems iCAL is unable to resolve access for security groups within groups.  The group being used MUST have the person's account listed in it.
    I thought this is worth passing along since Outlook 2011 for Mac and OWA work with groups within group access but iCAL may be having an issue with extra level security access.
