Re: Seeking your thoughts about Calendar app
Hi, you can do the following since you already have a gmail account. 1. Create a new shared calendar from the calendar site of google. this is of course under your own account sign in. Call it whatever you want, hubby-wife is a good example. 2. Invite your husband's gmail address. Assuming he has one. if not, get him one. 3. Give him access to both read and write to this shared calendar. That way even though its your calendar, he can see the events you post, and he can add his own as well. 4. From your iOS devices, go to Settings, then Mail, Contacts, and Calendar and add the calendar account. You do this by choosing Add, then Other, then CalDAV. In the username and password you give it your own user name and password for your gmail account. Do the same on his iOS device, but give it his gmail user name and password. One thing to keep in mind is if you already have your gmail account setup for mail on your phone, go into that settings and turn off calendars. This way you have a specific calendar entry. 5. From each of your iPhones bring safari and visit the page https://m.google.com/sync/settings/ and sign in with your own gmail account. This will show a list of calendars. Check the ones you want to share. Of course you want to have the new calendar you created checked. A few notes. The reason I suggest creating your own new calendar to share rather than just sharing your default is because this gives you the chance to add your own events which don't need to be shared. What if you use your calendar for pill reminders or a reminder to take the trash out. I would imagine that your husband doesn't need to know that you are out taking the trash, but I'm just guessing. The same is true for him, with his own personal calendar. Now, when you need to enter appointments which do matter, like a doc appointment, or be ready for the lawn service, or whatever, then you would enter those into the shared calendar. From the iPhone settings you can make the shared calendar the default. That way when you add new entries, by default they will go to the shared one. This way both your and your husband have access to the same calendar. The steps for this seem convoluted, but really are not too bad. i also didn't give specifics on where to go in the web site, so hopefully you can navigate this ok. I use Firefox and Window-Eyes on Windows 7 and can do it. Good luck. -- Raul A.

Re: Seeking your thoughts about Calendar app
Keeping your calendar in the cloud, such as in Google Calendar, would be an option. Your calendar could be accessed from your iPhone, the web and other clients. Multiple people could subscribe to the calendar and others could be given access to update the calendar.

Re: Seeking your thoughts about Calendar app
Hi Rose, Yes, as long as you both are on the iCloud, you can share your calendars. My wife and I do it all the time. It works really well!

Re: Seeking your thoughts about Calendar app
Hi Shelly, I see what you mean. I don't have to use that many calendars, so I haven't run into these problems a lot, but the problems you mention are certainly present in iOS 6. I hope this improves in iOS 7. I'm so glad you liked my iPHone book.

Re: iPHone book (was Re: Seeking your thoughts about Calendar app)
Hi Anna. That makes sense. I'll be publishing an article on the changes with accessibility in iOS 7 the day it is released, but certainly covering all of what you do is beyond the scope of an article. It's also cool to see what other things people find in the new releases, since there is no easy way to know what is new and how it impacts VoiceOver users.

RE: Seeking your thoughts about Calendar app
I have a question? I keep my own calendar and my husband his on our separate iPhones. I never really thought about sharing them, and a good reason is he often forgets appointments which I remember and could put in for him if that were possible! I have not used any web calendar, just Outlook and the iPhone and since Outlook is on our home computers, we don't have an exchange server. Would it be possible to do what I am suggesting? I hear all calendars but, have never attempted to set up more than one. Are we confused yet? I'd like to be able to access his calendar from my phone.

Re: Seeking your thoughts about Calendar app
I am needing something to track appointments for massages that is accessible and the office staff can enter or I can enter and we all can edit. I currently use calendar in IOS and on mac for my schedule but haven't been using it for massage clients scheduled. Need a good way for interaction between office staff and I for it.

Re: Seeking your thoughts about Calendar app
I would think you would be able to use the calendar app on both the Mac and iPhone to do this. I'm the iPhone if you go to the list view, it would just give you a list of your clients in their order of appointment. I wish I had an iPhone, and a Mac, back when I was doing massage. I used to carry around a looseleaf notebook with my massages handwritten. Chuck (mobile) Pleez x cuze enny tie ping or spelin air ores.
