Using BusySync To Share A iCal Calendar

Mr. Rhone reveals how he’s able to share his iCal calender with his wife…

The solution is a product called BusySync. It installs as a pane in System Preferences and seamlessly allows you to do real iCal calendar sharing between multiple Macs – with read write and password control. It is a fantastic solution and works so well you wonder why Apple has not implemented this feature in iCal themselves. It could not have been simpler to set up and make the switch. Here is what I did: With the Backpack calendars subscribed in iCal on one of the Macs, I exported each calendar individually. To me, this is the simplest way to get the data out of Backpack. I then deleted those calendar subscriptions from iCal. Next, I imported the calendars I had exported back into iCal, being careful to make sure it imported each one into its own new calendar. I then installed BusySync and followed the instructions for sharing the calendars. Finally, I went to the other Macs, installed BusySync there, and followed the instructions for subscribing to the calendars.
