Hi Alex,
1. Yes, it will sync with Calendar on your Mac and iOS device/s. You just add
your Google account like any other account. ON the Mac, you can do this from
within the Calendar app or from within the Mail, Contacts and Calandars
preference pane in system preferences. If you already have a gmail account in
Mail you may just be able to check the box for calendars in the gmail account
preferences in the Mail, Contacts and Calendar pane of system preferences. On
your iOS device/s I recommend you add it as an exchange account so that you get
push updates. You can find more information on this on Google's Google Sync
help page.
2. Yes, I have. Just log in to Google Calendar with your Google account
chrodentials (i.e. the same username and password you use for gmail). If you
don't want it linked to your existing gmail account, then just use the usual
method for creating a new gmail account. Once you have logged into Google
Calendar, the process for sharing your calendar is a little tricky. I
originally did it with JAWS on Windows and it was near to impossible. It's a
lot easier, but still a little tricky, with VoiceOver.
• Click (i.e. VO-SPACE) on the Settings Collapsed Button, which
is located between the More Collapsed Button and the Create Button. I find this
by doing VO-F and searching for setting.
• This brings up one of these really annoying Google menus which
I think are created with AJAX. VO-Right Arrow through the menu which will have
items such as cosy until you get to an item called settings. VO-SPACE on this.
YOu may have to do it twice, moving away from it and back to it again, before
it activates.
• Once this has activated, you should be able to find a heading
called Calendar Settings. VO-Right Arrow from this and you'll find four tabs:
General, Calendars, Mobile Setup and Labs. Choose (i.e. VO-SPACE on) Calendars.
• You should now find a list of all your calendars. If you've
only just logged in, you'll probably only have one. It will be a link, so you
can navigate to it that way. If you VO-Right Arrow from it a couple of times
you should hear a linke labeled edit share settings, or something like that.
Mine says Shared: Edit Settings, but that's probably because I've shared mine
already.
•The rest of the process should be fairly straight forward. You
basically just have to enter your friends' email addresses in an edit field and
click a share button. I think the only thing to remember is to save your
settings afterwards.
• As I said, don't forget to save your settings afterward by
pressing the Save button. :)
Hope this all makes sense. Best of luck with it and feel free to ask any more
questions.
Nic
