My girlfriend and I are sharing calendars. Every time she adds an activity, Calendar on OS X Mountain Lion notifies me via notification center AND from within the app. I disabled this when subscribing to her calendars on Lion and iOS 5, but it's enabled for Mountain Lion by default.
How can I disable both?
MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion, Late 2010
I have always had the same issues for many, many years but I recently found one additional setting to turn off shared notifications, so to summarize:
1. In Mac Calendar --> Preferences --> Alerts, uncheck Show shared calendar messages in Notification Center
2. In Mac Calendar, right click on each shared calendar in the Calendar List and check Ignore Alerts in each
3. In iOS, Settings -->Notifications --> Calendar, tap on Shared Calendar Changes and uncheck all of the options to show in Notification Center, lock screen, etc.
4. In iOS, Calendar app, tap on Calendars to show a list of all of your iCloud and shared calendars, then tap the info ("i" in the red circle) on each shared calendar and then turn Show Changes to off.
Be sure to do this on each of your Macs and iOS devices (for me, home and work iMac, iPad, iPhone, MacBook), as my changes as described above did not synchronize across all of my machines/devices.
I "think" doing all of these steps has resolved the problem for my wife and me. The fact that all of these steps are necessary is ridiculous.
I've been having this same issue and cannot get the alerts to stop. That tick box is NOT working for me. So any other suggestions are welcome...
I, too, have "Turn off shared calandar messages in Notification center" enabled, but I still get alerts for all my wife's calendar events. There must be a way to selectively turn off her alerts!
Been there. Done that. It doesn't work for me. Not sure if there may be some holdover from older sofware when they were created. Now iMac and MacBook Air are 10.8 and iPhone is iOS 6.
Sorry to hear that - I wonder why that fix works for some people, but not others? I am running 10.8.2 and have also run the supplemental update. All my mobile devices are runnign iOS 6.
Just read an article in Macworld that says...
"On some peoples' computers and devices, a bug seems to be preventing these settings from sticking."
I had this problem too and your solution helped me. thank you.
I had the same issue and was hoping that iOS7 would resolve this bug.
Unfortunately, it didn't.
Did the problem go away with the iOS7 update for anybody else?
Problem still here more than 1 year later! Come on Apple, fix your software!
Worked like a charm! Thanks so much. This has been bugging me for awhile!
Yes, I still get those notices as well every time my wife changes something on her calendar. The alerts have been squashed, but not all the change notices.
Very, very annoying.
Same problem here in El Capitan (10.11 Beta (15A279b)). It makes calendar sharing unusable for us in our business.
