Publish and Subscribing Calendars..where did these go

Unfortunately the easy (old) way is gone from what I can tell and have been told by support. It is made to sound so easy, however read on...taken from the MM Pages at

*Publish a calendar for a group or team*
The new MobileMe Calendar lets you share a read-only public calendar, perfect for publishing an events calendar such as a soccer team schedule. After setting it up, you can send the team members a link to view the calendar on their iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or PC.

*Please note these system requirements for the new MobileMe Calendar:*

*iPhone or iPod touch*: iOS 4.1
iPad: iOS 3.2; iOS 4.2 (coming in November) required for push calendar updates
Mac: Mac OS X Snow Leopard version 10.6.4
PC: MobileMe Control Panel 1.6.3, Outlook 2007 and 2010 (32-bit), and iTunes 10.

Used to very easily just add a link in iWeb to a "Published" calendar...

Also...talking to a caller earlier today, who used to be able to send links to people with Blackberry phones....also...no longer works.

Correction: One alternative way that WILL work is to export your calendar as .ics file.

Then import back into iCal and set destination as New Calendar...this put's it back as an "On My Mac" calendar.

NOW you can publish like you could in the past and have the same URL like before.

I have the same issue. The publish option has disappeared from the calendar menu. Interestingly, if you go to the help menu in iCal it still gives you instructions on how to publish the calendar (even though the publish option no longer exists).

I have tried doing the share calendar option. The e-mail that gets sent asks the other user either to log in to mobile me or create an account.

Does this mean that both people need to have mobile me accounts in order to share the calendar???

If not, how do I go about sharing my calendar to a user who is not a mobile me customer (i am a mobile me customer myself).

Many thanks

I used also this on my Websites (shop, restaurant, vietnmese food service and house for renting)

It was too easy to leave this utility.

If I must use an other way to do this, I'll be forced to refuse renew of my mobile me subscription, it's the main use of my account.

Like everyone else I was very disappointed that the 'publish' functionality disappeared when I upgraded. I work for several companies and it was the ideal way to give PAs in several companies online access to my calendar.

I think I have a solution that works now. ℹ I 'share' my calendar - this gives a long .ics address on the web where the data is made available. (ii) create a google account and 'subscribe' to this .ics address . (iii) google will give you a web address that others can view the calendar through any browser.

The only downside I can see is that google only updates at one time each day. I haven't figured out when that is yet, but at worst the PAs can see a calendar which is 24 hours out of date - OK for most purposes for me.

The two best pieces of help can be found in google calendar help
- "Subscribe to calendars in google calendar"
- "share with people who don't use google calendar"

I also find this disappointing. I use MobileMe to sync my computer to my iphone (and now iPad). I also allow my coworker to see our work schedule. It has quit working for him, since I did the iCal update.

The link above mentions publishing, but this option is gone from my iCal menu.

(And when I did try to "share" the invitation went in French!)

That is exactly what I ended up doing, syncing with google and using the google html code to sync to my website. What is the deal, why would Apple create a situation where the user has to inconveniently use a "work around" in order to simply make a calendar available to other people?

In the info pane on the left which contains your list of calendars do the following.

CMD-Click (right click) on the calendar in question. The publish option is there.
CMD-Click (right click) on empty space. The subscribe option is there.

I am very angry about this. I work as a private teacher in Japan. All of my business cards, my website etc.. show a link to my online calendar so students and the companies I work for can see my schedule easily. I just spent two hours trying to work out why my calendar wasn't updating on the web and then I read this thread. What an absolutely stupid idea to remove one of the main reasons many of us use mobile me. Apple please turn this feature back on.
