Calendar Invites from Outlook PC not syncing to iCloud calendar

I am using iCloud on my iPhone 5 and with Outlook on my PC.  When my husband sends me an appointment invitation from his Outlook (PC, no iCould), I receive an email via Outlook on my PC and click accept.  However, the appointment does not show up on my calendar.  When I accept from iPhone it works but takes a lot of click thrus.  Can anyone help me on this? 

Guys, I did a bit of research with my other iPhone/Exchange - buddies and this is what we found out:
1. Friend sends me an calendar event from his PC / Exchange Account
2. Calendar event displays as tentative on both my iPhone and on my PC / Exchange Account
3. I accept the calendar event on my PC / Exchange Account
4. Calendar event turns to "busy" on my PC / Exchange Account
5. Calendar event disappears from my iPhone
6. I double-click the event on my PC / Exchange Account and click "Accept" again
7. Calendar event reappears on my iPhone
Funny enough, this does not happen with all events - it seems to depend on the Exchange server and/or Outlook version in use. For those affected: Is your Exchange Server 2003 or 2007, and what version is the Exchange Server of the person who sent you the event in the first place?

    My outlook calendar is not syncing with icloud calendar & iphone

    Is there a way to sync outlook calendars into icloud? i'm not a very savy person when it comes to these issues. when i entered a appointment in my iphone, i can see it appear in the icloud calendar in the outlook but not the otherway.
    or is it possible for outlook to accept invitations of appointment directly into icloud calendar in outlook?

  • Importing calendar from Outlook 2003 or Yahoo to icloud calendar

    Can anyone tell me how to import my calendar from Outlook 2003 or Yahoo to icloud calendar, which I then can sync to my Ipod touch?
    I have exported the Yahoo calendar to an ICS file but on the icloud calendar there are no options to import anything.
    I am using a PC with Windows 7 & viewing the icloud page in IE8 or Google Chrome.

    Hi!
    Do you already know an answer?
    I have bought a new MacBook today and I have been trying it the hole day.
    Thanks!

  • Issues with calendar invites from Outlook address that come to my gmail on iPhone

    I have been trying for HOURS to get to the bottom of this iPhone calendar invite problem I'm having. I'll try to summarize.
    I LOVE iCal and I want to continue using it. Though I have a personal mid-2010 Macbook Pro, I don't use it too much (my company functions solely on Windows). I almost exclusively use my iPhone 4S for calendar purposes. Yes, my calendar is synced up to iCloud. I have a gmail account as my primary apple ID and my mail account on the iPhone is synced with gmail. I've been very annoyed lately as I have been receiving a lot of calendar invites from a friend who has Outlook, and I cannot accept or decline when I received her invite. The events are added to my calendar, grayed out.
    After much research, I realized that I had to setup my gmail account as an Exchange account on my iPhone, which I did. I then sent myself a test invite from Lotus Notes, and low and behold, I can now accept and decline!
    ..but I am VERY particular about my calendar organization, and I want to be able to choose which calendar the event is added to; however, it is added to my exchange (gmail) calendar, I guess because it was received on the gmail server. I want my calendar invites to be received on my ios device calendar! I don't know if having people use my .me account would help, but I don't want to tell everyone to change the email address to which they send me notifications, because I want to continue to receive mail at my gmail account (like the many calendars, I have many folders there and have everything set up the way I want it).
    I get emails concerning work, events, tennis matches, etc via my gmail account, and I want to sort them to the correct calendar when the invite comes to my gmail while STILL maintaining the functionality to accept and decline invites.
    Is this a crazy question?

    I posted this question a while ago and didn't receive any responses but there are a lot of people who have viewed it and 10 have said they have the same question so I thought I would update you that I added my nanny to my exchange server account (created an email for her) and I send all invites to that email address and they work.  So sending invites from an exchange server account to a non-exchange server account apparently is a bug so to solve it, get on an exchange server I guess.

  • Calendar invites from Outlook(pc) come as .ics, can't be deleted & are 3 hrs earlier than the meeting time!

    Please help!  This is so crazy complicated.  I believe the problem is either 1) a faulty phone, or 2) a bug in iOS5 for outlook calendar if you aren’t on an exchange server (please someone tell me iOS6 will fix it!). 
    I bought my nanny an iPhone.  She does not have a mac and she does not sync to a pc.  She just uses the phone.  She does not have an exchange server – she is just AT&T with an optimum online email account.  I use a pc and Outlook 2003 (yes, I know it’s old, waiting to buy a new laptop and upgrade at once).  I manage my children’s very busy schedule on this calendar and I invite my nanny and my husband to most appointments.  I am on an exchange server for this calendar (my personal).  I also use an iPhone and iPad and have servers hosting my email accounts.
    When I invite my nanny to appointments on my outlook 2003 pc calendar she receives an .ics file instead of a nice looking appointment with the name of the appointment.  If I invite myself at work (also on a server, PC and on my iPad and iPhone) or my husband (uses an iPhone 4S), neither of us get .ics – we get a normal calendar meeting.  We can open and accept and delete, etc.  Since we are both on exchange servers (not the same ones) I think this must be the first problem – why she gets .ics and we don’t.  When she opens the meeting she can ONLY accept.  There are no options for Maybe or Decline.  When she accepts – get this – it adds the meeting THREE hours earlier than the actual time!  Yes, we’ve checked her time zone settings.  I have also restored the phone.  It doesn’t help.  She also can’t decline the meeting ever.  It’s stuck on her phone.  When I delete the meeting, it doesn’t delete from her account.  She now has a test that we added as a recurring appointment on Sunday morning that will be there forever!
    THEN I tested a few other things.  I invited her NOT by sending the meeting directly from my outlook and PC but by opening the meeting once added on my iPhone and on my iPad and inviting her.  When I do that, they get added at the CORRECT time BUT she still has no option to decline and she can never delete these either.  When I delete from my PC, my iPhone and my iPad – they all stay on her iPhone.
    NEXT… I tried sending her a meeting from my work PC which is the newest version – Outlook 2010.  Same thing, came in as .ics, no ability to decline BUT… the time added correctly!  This is from an exchange server.
    I’ve read about other people having this issue but they have one appointment out there that they can’t delete.  This is 20 a week I’m sending her… and the time zone changing – that’s just crazy.  I haven’t found anyone with that issue.  Could we really be the only people out there that use a lot of meeting invitations – Outlook to iPhone and they don’t know it’s a bug?  Or do I have some funky setup on her phone?  If I add her to my server will that fix it?  Or does she just have a faulty phone?  Please help!

  • Can't get Notes from Outlook 2007 to sync with iCloud

    I have Outlook 2007 running on Windows 7 pc.  I have just upgraded to os5 on ipad 2 and iphone 4s.  Can't get Notes to sync between Outlook 2007 and the ipad or iphone.  Notes does sync between the ipad and iphone though.  I have set @me.com account as the default email account in outlook and icloud control panel worked with outlook and setup.  Calendar syncs between all three as it should.  Just can't get Notes to sync between icloud and outlook.  Does anyone know of a way to get this to work?

    I fell your pain and no thereis no good solution to this nasty issue. However you can view your Outlooknotes on your iOS devices but I had to do a sync via PC iTunes and sync cable to each device (iPhone 4 and iPad 2) not a very good solution (no support for OTA iCloud sync, LAME!). Then when the Outlook notes arrive on my iOS device in the Notes app its under a separatefolder "From My PC". All notes generated on your iOS devices are in the folder [email protected] or iCloud folder.  Further more if you go to your iCloud webpage you will only see the notes you generated from your iOS devices (if youhave Notes sync turned on) and you can't edit them nor can you create new notes from the iCloud webpage interface! Extremely sad and downright terrible migration from Mobile Me.  These are simple text notes this should not be so difficult but Apple chose to treat them the same as email messages basically and made a flashy "Notes App" just like the new iOS 5 "RemindersApp" same thing.
    If you’re like me and your looking to go away from your Outlook Notes and just want to put all notes into the Apple Notes then you need to use one of your iOS devices and manually cut and past the notes one at a time from your "From My PC" folder then create a new one on in your iCloud folder. This is also so darn ********! You should be able to select all do a copy then go to the iCloud folder and past,done (but you can't)! With hundreds of Notes collected over the years you’re not likely going to manually open each one select all, copy close and create a new note in the iCloud folder....  and by the way I'm not looking to load Evernot at this time so stop suggesting exporting my Outlook notes to Evertnote, this is not a solution to this issue.
    Apple are you listening!?

  • I cannot get ics calendar invites from Outlook to display the correct time in iCal even though the correct time is in the description. This seems to be a common problem but I cannot find an answer. Please help.

  • My calendar on my iPhone is not syncing with the calendar on my macbook pro

    I updated to ICloud and have been having some issues.. my emails on my iphone are very slow to open and all the new items I have added to my calendar over the last couple days are not syncing to my phone.  HELP!

    Assuming the iPhone and iCloud.com site has the correct calendar and is syncing OK, then open the iCloud prefs in System Preferences and deselect Calendars from the list. That should delete all calendars from iCal. Once done, reselect Calendars in the iCloud prefs.
    See if that helps.

  • Outlook 2007 Not syncing with icloud (ios5).

    If I add or change a contact on my ipad or iphone they sync without issues.  If I merely update a change of information on my contact list from my iphone or ipad these changes make it to icloud just fine- but they do not sync with outlook on my PC.  I can make changes on outlook on my pc and they will make it to the cloud and onto my iphone & ipad.  Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Did you ever figure out what to do?  I am having the exact same issue.  All syncing between Outlook - Icloud - Iphone-Ipad work fine EXCEPT if I edit an original contact ON Icloud or any of my devices.  Those edits or changes sync on the devices and Icloud, but NOT back to Outlook.  A newly created contact or one that I've added after the initial download will sync everywhere fine.
    It appears from other threads I've read that others are experiencing this also.  Anybody - any thoughts? Fixes? Ideas?
    Thanks

    That and other issues will happen if one tries to use a unsupported system with new services / software that was never designed for the system in use.
    Apple clearly says you need Lion 10.7.2. How on earth can you expect that it would work in 10.6.2 ??

  • HT1296 Trying to find why items entered on calendar on the iPhone do not sync onto the calendar on my Mac.  Items entered on the Mac do sync to the iPhone calendar.

    Have checked settings on the iPhone and Mac and can find nothing to change.  The problem existed with my iPad Touch, so I guess that the problem is with a setting on the Mac.  Any recommendations?

    Hi JalbertC,
    Do you have the Calendar option checked under iCloud on your Mac? Also under the iCloud option on your phone?

  • New events on Outlook 2010 not syncing with Iphone and Ipad

    I have gone through the nonsensical uninstall/reinstall every 5 restars. This time my new events or contacts on Outlook do not show on iPhone or Ipad. There is also a new confirguration where the Outlook does not separate the iCloud calendar from Outlook calendar but lists them all, then iCloud as a separate box at the bottom. I've tried dragging to that box with no success. I make about 50 appointments and reminders to my calendar each week and use all devices whether in the office or out. How dare Apple not fix this known issue.

    I just looked at topic called "Outlook 2010 - Outlook does not sync with iPhone / iTunes and used the fix suggested in that string of posts. It appears to have worked!!! My happy camper.
