How do you stop receiving notifications about updated calendar events?

Whenever I update anything on my shared calendar, all those who subscribe to it get an email/notification about what I've changed or added.

Same if someone who I'm subscribed to updates anything on their calendar, I get an inbox full of emails telling me they have done so.

Am I able to stop sending these update emails/notifications? And/or is there a setting to stop recieving these update emails/notifications?

iCal, Calendar and iCloud

All sorted now I think, Just heard from the apple support technician and we tried it and apparently they have sorted the issue.

Yes, thank you all for your input!

It seems apple has now fixed the problem, as no more notification emails have been recieved for over a day.

to NOT get email notification about updated events from a shared calendar you subscribed to you have to uncheck "events affect availability" in that calendars "info" (mac os X.7 and X.8: iCal —> calendars dropdown —> right click on the subscribed calendar —> choose "get info" from the context-menu —> uncheck "events affect availability")

this availability-logic kind of makes sense once you think about it ... problem is: "events affect availability" is checked by default for any newly subscribed shared calendar

Yea man, we are not stupid.

Apple fixed this issue some months ago..

it was a big bug and it has nothing to do with what you are suggesting here.

Sure i dont know what caused it..

What i know is that it had nothing to do with anything you can do on your mac. it was some kind of server problem, it was gone in a few days.

What do you mean it was... I still have this problem no matter how much I change the settings.

My companys mailbox is filled with meaningless emails from iCal, making it impossible for me to use iCal.

You would be far better served by starting your own thread, this one is marked as solved, it will be ignored by most because of that.
