I did find what looks like a solution after posting: http://vegardhoffwalmsness.wordpress.com/2011/10/17/icloud-and-calendar-subscriptions/ The key is that you have to set it up from a Lion desktop (not the web), and you have to set iCloud specifically as the storage location. So your existing public calendar subscriptions won't come over automatically and you can't do it from the web. In my case, the concern was that I went ahead with the iCloud migration even though I still have some SL machines. For a minute there it looked like I was going to lose access to all shared non-Apple calendars, but as long as you have one Lion machine you can get it to work. Still, it seems like a silly omission from the web UI. > > iCloud seems to be not even "me too", really.

I mostly agree - the case for iCloud over Google tools is getting pretty slim. ./s _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list MacOSX-talk@omnigroup.com http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
