Re: Simplifying Calendar OKs on a Mac

[Daniel Kerr]

Hi Stephen

Try ticking it and then un-ticking it again, then see what happens with new 
“changes” that comet through.

I tested it last night and when it was ticked, I got the “!” Showing like you 
mentioned (which I normally get). Without it ticked, the shared changes just 
changed with no notification or the “OK” to click. So that setting did adjust 
it for my Calendar. (In Mojave).
Also check what setting he has for the shared calendar as well, as that can 
have an affect on it also.

Hope that helps.
Kind regards
Daniel

 Hi Stephen,
 
 I’m not sure if my reply will help at all as I haven’t experienced exactly 
 your situation.
 But I often have to change recurring events.
 
 How to change multiple events at once on calendar:
 
 Did you set it for repeating? If you just set individual events and just 
 created the same event on different days without some type of repeating, 
 then you would not be able to change them all at the same time. 
 
 If they are repeating, then you can open the next one in the future, you 
 cannot use one of the past ones, and it should ask if you want to change 
 all or just the one.
 
 Sorry if my reply does not really relate to your situation.

Thank you Daniel.
But I just checked and that is already unticked !
So must be something else I am missing.

 Hi folks,
 
 My son (who is a pilot living in Dubai) shares his iCloud Calendar (flight 
 roster) with me and my wife.
 This means we always know where in the world he is.
 
 When we receive his Calendar updates on our iMacs we have to Click OK to 
 each update in order to install them.
 Often his updates can number 70 or more (one for each day) at a time 
 because his roster changes frequently.
 This is a very laborious task having to click OK to 70 or more daily 
 changes each time there is an update.
 
 I cannot find a way on our iMacs to OK each batch of updates in Calendar, 
 rather each day individually.
 Although I did find a way to make all OKs automatic on our iPhones and 
 iPad.
 
 Any help with this would be greatly appreciated please 🥺

 Stephen Chape

Re: Simplifying Calendar OKs on a Mac

Hi Stephen

Try the following should solve it -
In Calendar. Go to the Calendar menu then Preferences. 
Go too Advanced. 
Un-tick “Ask before sending changes to events”.
You should then find new changes just happen automatically when a calendar is 
updated or refreshed (eg using Command-R to force a Refresh).

Hope that helps.
Kind regards
Daniel
