ICloud with personal email - Calendar Event Sharing

Calendar event sharing seems to be a pain for a lot of people especially because of the new iCloud and even more so if you are a legacy .Me or .Mac user.
First of all if you are a first time iCloud user and you entered your own personal e-mail address as your AppleID - you will not be able to send calendar events.
Calendar events (created from your computer (iCal or iPhone) to your spouse or whomever) have to be sent by Apple. If Apple does not have a .mac or .me account associated to your iCloud account it doesn't work. What happens is you can not invite anyone to events and when someone invites you, instead of the calendar event going into your calendar you get the invite as an e-mail message and you have to manually download the ical request.
BRAND NEW iCLOUD USER BUT CAN'T SEND CALENDAR EVENTS
So if you created an iCloud account from scratch with a personal e-mail address, you must go to your system prefs > iCloud, turn on "Mail & Notes" (even if you are not using iCloud e-mailand are using your own) THEN iCloud will ask you to create a new .me email address! You have to come up with a new email address and it will be associated with your AppleID. Then you can turn off the Mail & Notes option and now the calendar can send and accept calendar invites.
.ME OR .MAC USER MIGRATION BUT CAN'T SEND CALENDAR EVENTS
When I migrated from my .me account to iCould everything moved fine. But I soon came to realize that I no longer needed my .me account anymore. I had a different AppleID than my .me so I figured, now is a good time to stop using my [email protected] account and switch to my personal AppleID '[email protected]' address. When I deleted my old iCloud account from my computer and added a new one (with my old original appleID) i was then unable to send calendar events. I realized that Apple has no way to send on my behalf. I have no email accout with apple. That is just because your AppleID is an email address doen not mean that Apple can use it to send and recieve email. * Your AppleID being your persoanl email address does not mean you have created an email account with apple, it means that you have created a Login ID with apple * Much the same way that Amazon.com can ask you to login and you enter your personal email address to do so.. In both cases they are just using your email as your ID with their system. SO, if you create an iCloud account from an AppleID that is your primary email address this means that you will also need a email address with Apple's .me or .mac system to send on your behalf, calendar invites.

Only icloud.com email accounts can be used on icloud now. No personal domains. You will have to buy a contract at some web/email provider to set up an account with them.
I very much doubt Apple is going to get into the provider business.

I have signed to up to iCloud and am pretty sure that all of my settings are turned on appropriately. However I get syncing from iCloud to my Mac and to my iPhone, but I am unable to get my iPhone to sync with the iCloud and most obviously calendar events

I have signed to up to iCloud and am pretty sure that all of my settings are turned on appropriately. However I get syncing from iCloud to my iMac and to my iPhone, but I am unable to get my iPhone to sync with the iCloud and most obviously calendar events, so that if adding an event on my iPone it never appears on my other hardware? Can anyone help me sort this out?

Re: check that the appointments in my phone are going into iCloud calendars....exactly how do I do this? I fear this is a really stupid question!
My iCloud account is set up with my Apple ID as one email account (for example [email protected]) which is the email account I use to sign up for internet sites like Amazon, Apple,etc, so that I can differentiate vendors/mass emails. But my default calendar on my iPhone is in a different email name (ie [email protected]) which I use for most communications to friends, relatives, etc. and it is this account that holds most of my appointments. To further complicate things I have other email accounts that I use for business/professional and community work. If I want all my calendars to show on my iPhone AND sync to my iCloud, do I set this at the phone level or the iCloud level? or both?
Let me clarify....It looks like if I go into appointments that I previously set up through my personal account (ie above [email protected]) and edit the entry on my iPhone, selecting the iCloud "home" calendar within the entry, it will then sync to my iCloud account, no problem....do I have to do this to EVERY entry I have? or is there a way to name my personal account as one to sync to iCloud?

I have a personal email calendar kept on Outlook, I also have an Exchange calender on outlook. I want to sync both calendars with my Iphone 5 /6.1.2 but ITunes only sees the exchange calendar. How can I get Itunes to see both calendars

I have a personal email calendar kept on Outlook 2010, I also have an Exchange calender on Outlook. I want to sync both calendars with my Iphone 5 / 6.1.2 but ITunes only sees the exchange calendar.
How can I get Itunes to see both calendars?

Hi,
you don't need MobileMe or anything fancy. I personally sync my Outlook calendar and my Outlook address book with three computers (two at the office and one at home)and besides I run Office 2003 on one, Office 2007 on the other and Office 2010 on the third, so it can't get more complicated than that, but it works 100%.
First sync Outlook with iTunes on one computer, having done that when you try to sync it to another machine, iTunes will recognize that it is synced with another computer and ask you if you want to merge the data, say yes, That's all there is to it.
It does not work for music as you rightly say but as far as Calendars and Contacts are concerned it's flawless and transparent.
If you hit a snag talk back to me.
Cheers.

HT203216 iPhone will not update with new outlook calendar events after sync

iPhone 4S will no longer update with new outlook calendar events after sync

another user had the fix:
FIXED IT! After a painful and time-consuming couple of months.
I found the solution on another help forum, and in a nutshell it is this:
I had set up some Outlook appointments with a reminder set at "0" minutes i.e. to remind me at the time of the event.
On the iPhone there isn't an option for "0" minutes - instead it says 'at the time of the event' (or something similar)
When the iphone tried to sync the Outlook items it didn't know what to do, and after several minutes of 'deliberating' (which looked like a very long calendar sync in iTunes) it then just aborted the process without syncing anything on Calendar.
So I went into calendar list view, and changed any appointment with a reminder set to "0" minutes, and bingo, it all started working again.
Try it! I hope it works for others too.. (repost of solution provided by Silvermum)

I signed into iCloud with an email account that I don't have now and can't remember my password changed it with apple but forgot about iCloud aim changing my phone over to virgin but can't back up my stuff. Is their anyway I can change iCloud email at all

Hi
Can anyone help me I signed into iCloud with an email address that i can't use now I have forgotten the password I used have tried all the ones i would normally use. The problem is i am changing my phone to another provider but need to back up my stuff. Is their anyway I can change the email address? If I can't will I loose all my stuff of my phone it is an iPhone 4s
Thanks

Is your phone signed into an old iCloud ID ("email address") and you need to change it to your current ID? Is so, there is a way around this.
Otherwise, you can either try resetting your password at https://iforgot.apple.com or by contacting Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password, or you can back up your phone to your computer instead. To do this, connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. Then go to File>Devices>Back Up.

Since switching to iCloud all of my calendar events show up double.

Since switching to iCloud all of my calendar events show up double. How can I fix this?

In the calendar settings on your mobile, uncheck anything "from my mac" that is already syncing to iCloud. By syncing directly b/w your iCal and mobile and then also displaying the iCloud calendars, you get doubles. Also, in iTunes disable syncing of your calendars. iCloud will take care of it.

ICal invitations are sent with work email calendar and respond to personal

Ical is set up to receive my work calendar called [email protected] Work email is a google webmail account. Office workers send invited to me from google calendar. I can accept these and they DO show on my .mac Ical.
On Ical, i have a list of standard calendar topics (home, work, school, etc). I have the shared google calendar set up as a second calendar on the ICal application. No problem.
My VCard has all work information. No personal at all. Work email, etc.
My email mailboxes for both inbound and sent Are in rank order meaning "work" email is draqgged over ".mac personal" on both scenarios.
Problem is This: When I create invites for "work calendar" , a new event pops up, "work email" shows as the Calendar and everything looks good and it does go to the invitee.
1. Invitee receives the invitation and the invite states that it is from the ".mac PERSONAL" calendar
2. My name shows as the organizer however has my personal email as the default (Not my work email as listed in my VCard)
3. Most annoying of all, my "[email protected]" email address(If clicked on by the invitee) states my Wifes name on the email address bar.
I have checked everywhere as to why my wife is showing up as the "owner" or my personal .mac account. Not anywhere on my .me account, .mac account, VCard, etc.
Help?
I want to send my invites from my work email account using Ical with the responses showing, and responding to the same work email address. Simple right?

I have to admit... Im getting frustrated.
I deleted the shared google calendar. Starting over. I created a work calendar called "MSL" under the "calendars" drop down in ical.
Created a test event, sent it to a personal account, clicked the link to accept and the link sends me to Entourage? See Below... Says iCal... Link goes to Entourage.
MSL Packaging and Fulfillment' has invited you to the iCal event: New Event Test, scheduled for December 16, 2009 at 4:00 PM (Eastern Standard Time). To accept or decline this invitation, click the link below.
I want to:
1.Sync google calendar with my [email protected] webmail account and my ICAL.
2. Send invites from my ICAL when using my work address in imail, have them send from my work address, respond to my work address, and show up on google and ical calendars.

Sync work iPhone calendar with personal Google calendar

I just received a work iPhone (5S iOs 8.1.3) which has events pushed to the calendar from Outlook. The connection to our work email/calendar server is managed through our IT department and I can't tap into that connection on my personal devices. I am looking to sync the work events to my personal calendar so I can see the calendar when I'm not near my work phone. I was hoping that since the calendar is on the device that there was an app or a feed that can be used to link to Google. NOTE: I'm only looking to view the work calendar and not push meetings to it from Google.
Everything I've read gets close to answering this but not matching the scenario completely. The overwhelming advice I see is "just use Google as the default" which isn't an option for me since I don't control the work calendar.

I feared that. Part of me was just hoping that the answer wasn't there due to bad posts with little detail.

Emailing calendar event question

Is it possible to email a calendar event from my iMac to someone with an iPhone, so they can easily add the event to their calendar? If I email an event, the outgoing message says:
"To add it to your calendar, click the link below"
But when they click the iCal...ics link in the email, nothing happens. I know if I view the same email on my Mac in the Mail app and click on the link, I'm prompted to add the event to my calendar.
-Thanks

Sorry, answering my own question. It seems you have to do it on iCloud. Kind of frustrating if you're not on your computer but at least it's possible. Thanks for reading.

Can Not Remove "with" Data from Calendar Event Details

I currently have a Palm Tungsten|E2. For a short time I used to sync it with my work computer; this was before they replaced the computer (lease was up) with a new one where it was locked down and I could not reinstall the Palm desktop. Since then I have been syncing it with my home computer that runs MS Vista. Just recently I have noticed that when I create new Calendar events on my Palm, they all get a new "With:" data line (and a user from my old job) after sync'ing with my home computer. Selecting this "With:" entry brings me to a screen that allows me to select from a list of people I may "Done", "Reply", or "Reply All" to; although selecting either reply only causes a fatal error that requires a soft reset (button on back of machine). Looking at the event through the desktop software shows no data point so that it may be cleaned.
I would like to know why my desktop software is adding this person to a "With:" data point to all new entires I create on the Palm hardware, how do I turn it off and keep it from doing it in the future.

This question was solved.
View Solution.

Are you sync'ing the new device to the same username in Palm Desktop as an older device?
If you are, this will cause problems on the new device. When you sync the device, it saves the device settings, 3rd party apps, preferences, etc. in the backup folder in the username folder on the PC. When you sync the new device it copies the contents of the backup folder for the old device to the new device. This will cause corruption in the settings for the new device thus causing erratic behavior of the new device.
The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a seperate folder on your PC.
Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that is convenient. Name it something like Palm Desktop Data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on that page for the export procedure.
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28734
Make sure you select all for the range in the export window.
With the data saved in the folder you created, make a copy of that folder and save to a flash drive, cd-rw or external hard drive.
Anytime you make a change in Palm Desktop, export the data that was changed to that folder and save again to the external media.
With this process you can always import the data back into Palm Desktop anytime you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop or if your computer/hard drive/device crashes.
Looks like you may need to hard reset your device and rename your backup folder. Go to http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=887 and follow the directions to do a hard reset. Next before you hotsync your data back over you will need to rename your backup folder, to do that go here;
XP
C:\program files\palm or palm one\[hotsync username]\ and rename your backup
folder to backup.old
Vista
Start-->documents\Palm OS Desktop\[hotsync username]\ and rename your backup
folder to backup.old
Then hotsync to your current hotsync name and all your contacts, calendar,
tasks, and memos will come back over.
Show file extensions for XP or Vista
XP
If you can not view file extensions on your PC I would like you to open a
folder go to Tools-->Folder Options--> View (tab) and under show hidden
files and folders uncheck hide file extensions for known file types.
Vista
Open control Panel go to Folder Options--> View (tab) and under show hidden
files and folders uncheck hide file extensions for known file types.

Issues with Outlook Email Calendar Option when MOSS Calendar

Hi,
I am using the Outlook feature Email Calendar, to email the list of appointments, but have observed that it doesn't list the recurrent appointments in the selected dates, and shows an message that "The calendar you are saving does not contain any appointments
during the specified date range - " in case if no appointments, or else it will just miss the recursive appointments.
You can see more details about this feature in the below link, as I said my issues is if any appointment that is repeating, is not populating/show in the list of events using this feature.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/outlook-help/send-an-outlook-calendar-in-an-email-message-HA102840072.aspx
Can anyone suggest if we need to change or make any settings, to get the recurrent events.
Also, forgot to mention above that, this calendar is from SharePoint Calendar and gets sync.
Can someone please advice if I am missing anything or any change in settings?
Here are some more details:
Outlook 2013
MOSS Version of SharePoint (2007)
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles in it.

Managing meeting requests from SharePoint does not work as you would think. See second paragraph
here.
Your best bet is to use Outlook to send out meeting requests and synch these events back to SharePoint.
Even when you use Outlook to manage a meeting request and synch the meeting to SharePoint, you still come across issues, for example with meeting workspaces:
1) Whenever a recurring event changes (a recurrence exception), the meeting workspace for the original recurring event gets orphaned.
2) Changing attendees in Outlook doesn't always get updated in SharePoint.
If this helped you resolve your issue, please mark it Answered

- system other knows itself and answers for __________?
You used example2.com in your above which is different from what you
started out with. And now you are mentioning IMAP that you haven't
mentioned at all before. Perhaps you are writing faster than you are
thinking and missing getting the key data into here, and that makes it
difficult for us to constructively help you.
