Accepting ical events on iphone with 3.1.3

Not able to open or accept ical invite attachments on my iphone. Is there a resolution available (I have to open the and accept the attachment on my Macbook to accept and then the event syncs to my iphone with mobileme. I rather not go through this extra step if possible).

This conversation is a couple of months old, but... iPhone OS 3.1 was announced AND nothing happened, .ics invitations in an email cannot be read on the iPhone and/or posted to calendar. What's also pretty surprising is that I have gone through ten pages of this "Mail, Contacts and Calendar" discussion forum and I have only seen 2 maybe 3 mentions of this very frustrating situation. Apple doesn't seem to be bothered by this and in the meantime we, the users, keep getting frustrated. Let's wait.

Accepting iCal events

Does anyone know when I will be able to accept ical events on my iphone? Or if I can already - how?
Thanks

If you mean iCal events sent as email attachments (.ics files), those cannot currently be handled by the Mail app on the iPhone. No one on these user-to-user forums knows when or if Apple will implement that capability.
You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.
Calendar invites sent directly (via MobileMe or MS Exchange) can be accepted on the iPhone.

ICal Events on iPhone 4S IOS 5 and Lion with iCloud issue.

Last week I tried to create an event on the 4th of May just to remind me of a past particular special event in my life. I created it in Lion on my iMac and after a couple of seconds it vanished. I then tried creating it on my iPhone 4S IOS 5 and the same happened.
Then I tried switching Calendars off in my iCloud settings and did the whole thing once again. By doing so events remained for ever on the device even after I switched back on the Calendars in my iCloud and merged all the events that were on the computer and device.
Still, when I go back and search for the event to see if it's still there and edit it, it once again vanishes.

Does anyone know how to resolve my question (first paragraph in original posting) regarding uneditable calendar items on iPhone (with regards to syncing through iCloud)? Thanks.

Help....duplications of ical events on iPhone and only syncing from mac to iPhone?

Hi,
Has anyone got any suggestions for fixing this problem.....
My iPhone syncs with my Mac perfectly via iTunes apart from iCal, which is giving me real grief! iCal on my mac is in perfect order and syncs events to my phone but my phone has duplicate and triplicate events and even events in different states of being edited. The iphone doesnt sync events made in it back to the mac either.
It syncs contacts etc. fine, just not iCal events.
Is there an easy way of fixing this or even totally reseting iCal on the Mac and iPhone so it clears this up? (obviously, I need to keep my calendar events though)
I've tried replacing the info on the phone, reseting the phone, changing to iCloud syncing and back again and I even upgraded to the iPhone 5 (which I was going to do anyway )
I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.8, iCal 4.0.4, iTunes 11.0.2 and I was on an iPhone 4 and now iPhone 5. It's been happening for two months now and it's getting really frustrating!
Thanks for any help in advance

This fixed my problem - finally!!

ICal on macbook pro won't sync iCal events from iPhone 5

I've synced/backed up my iPhone 5 with iTunes within the past hour.
After it finished, I went onto iCal on my macbook pro and saw that it didn't have events my iPhone 5 had.
So then I went to settings and changed the iCloud settings so that it would back up iCal.
But even after that, it took too long to back up and it failed at backing it up.
So I googled how long iCloud takes to back up and realized that the more I had for it to back up, the longer it takes.
Now I'm down to 500-something mb for iCloud to back up. It's still taking a long time.
THEN I googled to see if anyone else has had any problems with syncing iCal.
There was one person who deleted iTunes 11.0.1 and downgraded to the 10 version.
Is there any way for me to sync/backup my iCal on my macbook pro with iCal events from my iPhone 5, vice versa?
(Other than downgrading, if there is one)

Your signature says you have 10.3.x but presumably this can't be correct - could you please make sure it's correct to prevent confusion. 10.7.2 is required for iCloud - your Mac won't be able to sync with pre-Lion systems.
The fact that you have iCloud accounts showing does suggest you have Lion: are they showing in System Preferences>iCloud, or where? You can only enter one there.
Are the two different or the same? You could try deleting both and then starting the setup again from scratch.

Outlook Users Can't Accept iCal event invites

Microsoft Outlook users can't accept my event invites from iCal.
I already searched through all the possible prefs and settings... at least I think I have.
Can anyone help?
THX!
A.Che

To clarify this issue - (as I am having a similar issue)...
From iCal I can easily accept and respond to meeting requests sent to me from a person using Outlook 2003
The problem is the other way round - My meeting requests from iCal do not seem to be accepted by Outlook. I am generating an email that has a *.ics file extension and it is being sent via mail, but when the recipient (using Outlook 2003) receives the email, it is formatted as plain text and does not have a file attachment.
When that person forwards the message back to me, it DOES have the attachment still attached (which I can open on my own PC).
What is the trick to sending an iCal meeting request to an Outlook user so that they can add it to their calendar (and respond to the request)?? Apparently they receive a plain text email with an attachment that is named "Untitled Attachment" which is then empty (~200 bytes)
Here is a picture of what I am talking about (that they receive in Outlook):

Ical events on iphone 5S will not sync to desktop

I have an iphone 5s operating 7.0.4. My ical events will not not USB sync to my desktop OS 10.6.8. My itunes version 11.1.3. Any ideas?
Thanks

No you shouldn't have to ever repurchase anything.
I would go, on the mac, in iTunes, go to iTunes store section. Sign into you apple id, and over towards the right hand side bar you'll see a section titled 'quick links' look for purchased and click on that.
At that point, you should see your purchase history and be able to re download them right to your mac here.
You'll also want to authorize your computer with your apple id(s) by clicking 'store' and going to authorize this computer and sign into your apple id(s)
At this point all should be well.
Might turn on auto downloads on your mac as well byt going clicking 'ituned' in the upper left corner of your display, going to preferences, click the store tab, then check mark all that applies about half way down.
Hope this helps 

Ical events on iphone but not on macbook ical...

My ical events on my macbook are not showing up, but they show up in ical on my iphone. I've tried syncing and this is not adding my events back to ical on my iphone. Please help!

I read your original message again.

They show up on the iPhone but not on the Mac? In what calendar do these events show on your iPhone, a iCloud/CalDAV calendar or an "On My iPhone" calendar?
I've tried syncing and this is not adding my events back to ical on my iphone. Please help!
Are you trying to get them back on your iPhone or back on your Mac?

How to copy/paste an ical event on iPhone?

In iCal on my computer I can copy an event from one day and paste it on another day. I can not find a way to do this in iCal on my iPhone. Am I missing something, or is this not possible in iCal on the iPhone? Thanks!

Hi,
I don't think it is possible to do that in iOS 5.
Best wishes

HT2513 invite people to ical event on iphone

How to duplicate iCal events on iPhone?

Is it possible to duplicate/copy an eventy in iCal on your iPhone and then paste it to another date? This is easy in iCal on my Mac, but I can not seem to find a way to do it on my new iPhone. Thanks.

Not sure, but you might want to check your calendar on your iPhone under Clendars button (top left), then see if you have a check mark next to more that one calendar named "Calendar". If so, try unchecking the one under On My iPhone and see if that removes the duplicates.

Time machine backing up iCal events and Contacts with icloud

Is Time Machine backing up my iCal events and contacts? The reason I ask is because I have it set so they are stored ONLY on iCloud, NOT locally. Is this getting backed up too by Time Machine? I hope so! Because, if something were to fail, or if I were ever to accidentally delete a contact, I might like to be able to travel to the past and recuperate that contact.
Thanks for your insight,
Greg

Hope you will see this... I had the exact same question and need to be sure what I understand. It is easiest for me to have all contacts, calender contacts only as iCloud rather than machine based. But I want to be sure if there is a massive error on icloud (I have had them on mobile me, me.com) that I can restore from my external hard drive where I do regular time machine backups. How does that work? Does the time machine recognise what is on the calendar regardless of its origin (cloud, gmail, exchange) and then restore it to the machine. At which point I would need to manually edit them all to put them in the right cloud based storage??

Cannot edit iCal events on iPhone 3G with OS 5.0

Now that I've upgraded by iPhone 3G to OS 5.0, I cannot edit events on the phone that were created in iCal on my MacBook Air (running Lion). How do I fix this?

The edit feature was working correctly with the calendars and stopped. Performed a sync through iTunes removing syncing preferences first. Did not resolve the issue. I am considering restoring the iphone.

I can't delete iCal event from iPhone

My iCal seems to sync just fine on my laptop, iCloud and my iPhone, EXCEPT for a couple events that I cant delete off of my phone.
They were originally setup as recurring events - to remind me every week about a voice conference I was to have with a client. That weekly meeting is no longer necessary so I deleted it (and chose All future events as well). I made sure it was gone from iCal on my laptop, and on iCloud.
However it is still on my iPhone and gives me an alert about the meeting every Monday.
On the phone, I see no way to actually delete events. When I touch it there is no EDIT button or anything like that.
I must be missing something obvious. Any help would be appreciated.
my iPhone has iOS 7.04
My laptop has 10.9.1
iCal is version 7.0

Go in your iTunes,
Select sync photes from (whereever)
When the folder boxes appears,
*DO NOT SELECT ANY BOXES
*THEN PRESS SYNC
*ALL OF THE UNWANTED PHOTOS WILL BE REMOVED
*THAT WILL NOT AFFECT THE PHOTES YOU HAVE TAKING PREVIOUSLY, JUST THE ONES THAT WAS ADDED FROM YOUR DESK TOP, LAPTOP, ETC.
