Shared iCloud calendar notification problems

Hey all,


My partner and I have a number of shared iCloud calendars which we seem to be having problems with since we upgraded to iOS6 and iCloud.com's upgrade (I'm not sure if there's been an upgrade but things seem different).


At the moment whenever my partner or I add/delete/change and event in our shared calendars the other person is recieving email notifications of these changes. Orginally when you shared a calendar with someone you could choose whether or not you would be notified when they made any changes to it- this toggle seems to have disappeared and we seem to be stuck with the settings we had set with no way of changing them.


Does anyone have any ideas on a work around to this?


In the preferences pane of iCloud->Calendars we've both turned off all the alert and notification settings yet are still recieving emails. Not only that, but we are also getting notifications via the Calendar App on our iPhones despite in Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars having 'New Invitation Alerts' and 'Shared Calendar Alerts' both turned off.


It seems no matter what we turn off (iCloud.com & on the iPhone) we still recieive these emails regarding changes, deletions, and new events.


Can anyone help?


Cheers,

Duane

iPhone 4, iOS 6

HI

Thank you for the followup.

This is what the English version says.

I you are referring to the second option choice, it refers to email.

I currently do not get emails, but notifications on the screen on my computer as well as notification in Calendar on the iPhone. The issue is, I d not need to know when every person in our group adds or changes an appointment. I only need to refer to shared calendars from others occasionally and am particularly upset with constant notices at all times of the day and night when someone is updating their calendar.

This is what I see

Thanks for your quick response.

Sorry about the screen shot. I used a TIFF file to upload, so will try PNG and follow the same process.

Yes all calendars involved are iCloud. With a staff of six members, each has his/her own iCloud account and calendars, automatically synced through the iCloud account to MBPro, iPad, and iPhone.

Each of the six members have set up shared calendars so all members can see what is going on in the office. Person A has his/her own work calendar on the iCloud( and usually a personal calendar or two), and has read-only access to the work calendars of the five other members.

Your suggestion about right clicking and changing settings in "more info" is something I have not tried.

I also am exploring the difference in the issue between "public" calendars, and "shared" calendars. This terminology and procedure has changed since we first entered the collaboration, so I may just disconnect everything and start over if all else fails.

Thanks again for your input. It has been helpful. Ordinary Newbies (and that includes me. I have been around a long time but only access the community when necessary) may not have experience, but they can contribute a lot through logic and understandable discussion.

I will report any success here when I have a chance to access the accounts at the office.

Thanks again.

JD

gobluejd: I can't find the option to "turn off show changes" you are referring to in IOS (I'm using v. 7.1.2).

I open the Calendar app, tap "Calendars" (bottom center of iPhone screen)

then I see a list of all my calendars (my own, shared, work, etc).

I see the "Edit" button on top left hand of screen, but when I tap it and select the shared calendar (as you describe in your instructions), there is no option to "turn off show changes" or anything like that. I only have the option to change the color or "Delete Calendar".


Please advise if I'm misunderstanding the steps.

I'd really like the in-app notifications to stop.

This "Show Changes" for shared events toggle is exactly what I'm looking for in the OS X Calendar app. I don't want to receive the in-app notifications of changes to shared calendars made by other people. I'm running Calendar 8.0 on OS X Yosemite. Does anyone know how I can disable this show changes behavior?
