[QUOTE="mustang71, post: 1836668, member: 403602"] Dear Mac Gurus Firstly, thank you to all the folks that patrol these forums to help IT dull wits like me. Sincere kudos to you all. I have two co-related problems with iCAL. Stupidly, I have two apple IDs - this goes back years and I clearly did it for some unknown reason and now can't undo as I believe you can't merge two apple Ids. I run a MacBook Pro (new this year), an iPhone XR and an older 2015 IMac. All I keep as up to date as poss (not downloaded Catalina yet on my iMac, but have on my MacBook Pro). My predominant apple ID - where I have all my downloaded 'stuff' - music, films, etc is associated with what I call my 'work apple ID' - that is to say it's my work email address (NOT an iCloud or @me address) and my OTHER apple ID is an @me.com. For some unknown reason, when my colleagues at work send me diary invites to my work email (remembering this is my 'work' apple ID too), they show up in my calendar associated with my iCloud address. First question - can I 'turn off' my iCloud calendar and have my work apple ID run my calendar? Or is that what an @me.com address does - basically, run a calendar (amongst other things)? This causes problems as for example, when I try to invite a client to a meeting, they get an email from my personal email (my @me.com) one, NOT my work email. This leads to the second issue - that all my work colleagues (there are 7 of us all using macs) - and when we try to invite each other to things through Ical (using our work email addresses, which MAY or MAY NOT be apple IDs too) it sometimes works, sometimes they never get the invite. We can't pinpoint any factor which leads to this either working or not working. It's really haphazard (although there must be a common thread we just haven't worked out). I should mention some of the team only have an apple ID which is their WORK email - some had their own apple id when they joined (maybe a gmail or hotmail account) and they use those. It's driving us all crazy and I'm almost at the point of switching us all to Microsoft office, but before I do, I thought I'd ask you kind geniuses what I'm doing wrong..... please enlighten me. Thank you very much for your time. Oh, and aside from the team issue - the supposedly more simple task of my own devices syncing across my laptop, phone and desktop is not reliable either..... arghh!!!! [/QUOTE]
