Once she has her Google account, you can set her (or, more specifically, her Google account user) up to have read/write access. Once she has read/write access, she can then subscribe to your calendar, using those Google user credentials, either via Google or via iCal. Or both. The Google Calendar service merely acts as the middleman to facilitate this. This middleman behavior is necessary unless your computer and your friend's computer are on the same LAN. If they're *not* on the same LAN, they can't see each other, so they need the middleman. If they *are* on the same LAN you can share to her directly using software like BusySync: http://www.busymac.com/busysync/ BusySync is not, however, free. Anyway, there you have it. -systemsboy Yes, your friend must subscribe to your calendar, and to do that she’ll need a Google account.

If so, she has to have a google calendar set up already, right? I was us to be able to share our iCal's (well, not all the account, just this one in particular) Sorry to be a pain!! :) Do i have to invite her for all permission thru google calendar first?

Ok, so I created a google account and got them in sync (google calendar and iCal). But now I would like to Publish that calendar for my friend so she can edit the calendar and vise versa. When I click on "PUBLISH", it's grayed out. It won't let me publish that particular calendar. I must have done something wrong when setting it up. Googles step by step instructions were good but from what i was seeing on my end was a little different. So i must not have done every tiny thing correctly because i had to guess with some things. Any ideas?!?! :) Hi again! Ok, so I created a google account and got them in sync (google calendar and iCal).

This worked great... thanks! I shared my calendar with my friend. Will she be able to make changes to the calendar? I would like her to be able to have full access just like me. Any information would be soooo helpful! Thanks again! Hi! This worked great… thanks! I shared my calendar with my friend. Will she be able to make changes to the calendar?

Your home computer — the one you're publishing from — is the only computer that can make changes to the calendar. All the other computers are just subscribers and can only read the calendar. If you want true two-way sync I highly recommend Google calendar sharing: http://systemsboy.com/2008/08/google-calendar-sharing.html -systemsboy Jason,

I have also managed to subscribe my work computer to these calendars. The problem I am facing is apparently not being able to make changes to the calendars I set up on my home computer from another computer and have the updates show up on my home iCal. Does this make sense? I would like to be able to add appointments from work and have them sync to home (I have already set my known work appointments on my home desktop...)
