Calendar:Declined events show up as accepted in iCloud

Hello,
I use Mountain Lion (problem is the same in Lion). When I decline an event invitation in calendar, it gets a grey icon and in the details I can see that I declined the event. I don't get any alarms either. So far so good. But on my iPhone and because I shared the calendar with my wife also on her iPhone the event shows with the color of the calendar, as if I accepted. In the details I see that I declined...I could accept the wrong color but I get alarms for those events too! Also on icloud.com the color of the events is wrong (blue in my case)...
Anybody else has this problem? Any suggestions? Is it a bug?

Actually, upon further poking around -- I think it is not so much a bug as an (important) missing feature:
In iCal on MacOS, under the "View" menu, there is an option to show or to hide declined events. So I-- and I guess you and I think many people-- choose sensible to hide declined events. (*Why do I want to fill my calendar with things I am not doing?)
But iOS does not offer this option; and iOS seems to default to "show declined events". And for this reason, our iOS devices do not show the same content as our desktop devices. And this makes it feel, from a user point of view, like it is broken -- because functionally, it is broken.
(*Note that this seems to be a fairly old issue: in addition to the links above, there are also posts on this topic going back to users of mobileme -- and none of the threads have any comment from Apple, which is disappointing as attention to usability is generally the distinguishing feature of their products...)

Declined events show up anyway...

"show declined events" doesn't work in my iPhone 4S (ios7). Declined events show up anyway. How can I solve this?

After a lot of trouble, I finally found a solution that worked for me! This issue first came up with the iOS 6 update. I found a supposed solution but ran into more problems. Here's what I did:
Find the Facebook Event page on your COMPUTER BROWSER (if it's private, go to the event on your iPhone Calendar and scroll down. Click "View on Facebook" and copy the link.)
On the right, you'll see an icon with three dots. Click that and select "Remove me from the Guest List" (this is not possible on the iPhone app) Selecting "Not Going" is not enough - you must remove the event.
Now go to Settings on your iPhone. Scroll down and click on Facebook. Under "Allow these apps to your account," turn OFF Calendars and then back on.*
*When I first tried this, the Settings app just froze. I could click Home and pull down Notifications, but I couldn't move the Settings app at all. I closed Settings and tried a couple of times with no results. If this happens to you or step 2 doesn't do the trick, here's what I did that finally worked:
Uninstall the Facebook app on your iPhone
Turn off your iPhone and back on
Make sure you've removed yourself from the guest list on the Facebook event
Check the settings for Facebook under the Settings application (Facebook will still be listed even though you don't have it installed) and make sure the Calendars toggle is ON
Reinstall Facebook
This worked for me. Hopefully this helps! Let me know.

Iphone - calendar multiday events show on wrong days

Outlook is syncing all events but multiday events start and end a day later than they should. Iphone 4s running io6. I have heard this is a common issue. Is there a server side or sofware fix for this?

Fix1: Updated Exchange to Service pack 2 and after testing it out noticed it would not move the event to the next day on outlook but on the iphone it would still say the event is the next day. (tested it with Android and it seemed to say the same day)
Fix2: Checked for outstanding updates and there were 2
• Update Rollup 4-v2 for Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 2
• Update Rollup 5-v2 for Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 2
Updated both Rollups and tested it with iPhone and it worked. With this update it now sends the times for both start and end of the event.

We had an IT guy mess our company calendar up really bad. All of the iCloud calendars we created are not showing on the sidebar and it's no longer syncing with some of our computers and phones. HELP!!

Our company is currently using iCal of scheduling. It has been working great, however, an IT guy came in to update our server and now the calendar won't show any of the created iCloud calendars at the side, it won't sync on many of our phones and computers, and events won't properly update or sync. Please help.

Declined Facebook Events Showing in iOS Calendar

Hi
Ive noticed recently that Facebook Events that Ive declined show up in the iOS Calendar on my iPhone 5. Ive went into Calendars and Show Declined Events is switched off.
The strange thing is they don't show in iCal on my iMac which is also linked to my Facebook account.
Any ideas how I can resolve this irritating issue?
Thanks
Baz

I second this solution
This was a long standing problem for me (even pre-ios7 maybe), it's a shame i've never come across a method so banal like this a perfect, easy way.
Thanks a lot Timothy, now i can switch fb calendars back on.

Why are declined events NOT showing on iPhone iOS7 (setting is marked to "on")

Apparently I and some of my colleagues are having the OPPOSITE issue from most.
We are syncing with Google Calendar.
We have set "Show Declined Events" to ON
Declined Events are NOT showing on iCal.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I noticed this too. I have a Google Apps for Business account through work.
This happens when I have Gmail configured as ActiveSync. But when using CalDAV - it isn't a problem. Does anyone have a solution or more informaiton on this topic?

Is there any way of dragging and dropping an iCal event showing in week view across to a date in the left sidebar monthly calendar?

Hi, Im not a frequent forum poster, as most of my questions can be found already answered on them!
This is a question Ive had for a long time and it amazes me that no-one else seems to ask it. I check at each OS upgrade but its never there...
Is there any way of dragging and dropping an iCal event showing in week view across to a date in the left sidebar monthly calendar?
I was able to do this years ago in MS Outlook, and utilized it all the time when I needed to push things back, now I have to open the event and select an new date in the drop-down calendar for each & every event I want to move to a new month at the end of the month.
If its definitely not possible, how to you ask apple to consider including it - it doesnt seem like a particularly difficult task.
Thankyou
Andrew.

Andrew,
Is there any way of dragging and dropping an iCal event showing in week view across to a date in the left sidebar monthly calendar?
No, but you can use cut/paste. Cut (⌘X) the event, then click on the week where you want to move the event, and Paste (⌘V).
If you have a suggestion for Apple to change that method use: Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback.

Ios 7 calendar does not show events 2 years in the future

Why does ios 7 calendar does not show events 2 years in the future?
I've entered the events more than twice and it all shows up in the OSX calendar but not on my iphone.

Just tested it works even 3 years ahead.

Bug: Repeating Google Calendar Events Show Up On The Wrong Days

I've created a Google Calendar event that repeats "Daily," every two days, from 6:00pm to 6:30pm. It shows up fine in my Google Calendar, but the Pre's Calendar puts them on the wrong days. For example, the repeating event that should be scheduled for today shows up tomorrow (offset by +1 day).
I tried turning off network timezones, but the bug remains.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. If this is a bug, how can I submit it to Palm?
Thanks!
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)
Some new data:
If I create the repeating event on my Pre, rather than via Google, it shows up on the Pre correctly. However, it only shows up for one day via Google (today); the event is not repeated. When I edit the event in Google, it's setup correctly. I tried saving the event from there, but it doesn't cause Google to recognize it should repeat.
Very frustrating.
Even more new data:
Created yet another event via my Pre instead of via Google. This time Google picked up the correct repeat pattern, and my Pre now shows it on the correct days.
Calendar sync needs serious work, based on my experience. I have issues with Facebook events showing up an hour later than they should, too. Dunno if this has been fixed yet.
New Data (01/28/2010)
Not sure why, but the above success reverted back to being off by one day; temporary success only.

This question was solved.

Hi, another quick question: you say you turned off network timezones.... did you make sure that the (now manually set) timezone is correct?
Sounds similar to other issues related to the timezone being off, but usually the appointments were off by hours... not day(s). However if your timezone is set to something really odd and the event you're creating is around midnight (again depends on a few things here), then MAYBE this is it.
If it isn't, one of the support guys will have to chat with you privately about possibly collecting logs, getting more granular details, etc.

Issues: new events show from google calendar but not the other way round

Hi,
I've just followed the instructions to the letter on these pages: http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&topic=14252&answer=138740
& http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=139206 and looked at the known issues page, but I am still stuck.
Entries in my Google Calendar have now synced in iOS Calendar (and weekcal which I use instead of iOS Cal) - however, none of my existing entries in my iOS Cal have synced with Google Cal.
Here are the issues:
A recurring event created by someone else and me invited showed in iOS when I set this up
None of my events from iOS show in Google Calendar
New events I create in Google Calendar do not show in iOS
New events I create in iOS don't show in Google Calendar
To test, I deleted the recurring event which was the only one showing on iOS - immediately it was also deleted on iOS which indicates it is set-up to sync betweeb Google and iOS
Cannot find any information on help pages about this.

I'm not sure what else to suggest. As the Nokia 5800 is not natively supported by iSync you must be using an iSync Plugin, so I'd advise contacting the author of the plugin - it may be buggy and need fixing.

Suddenly, events entered in Calendar on iPhone are not showing up in iCal or iCloud

Until late November, i had an iPhone 4s with iOS 5.   Then i got an iPhone 6 with iOS 8. As previously, when i would enter an event in the Calendar, that data would also show up in my iCal calendar and on my iCloud calendar, until the last couple of days. Now, new entries are not showing up on iCal or iCloud. I encountered the problem that my iPhone, 64G, is being backed up to the iCloud and after two backups, taking up 2.4G each, my 5G of iCloud storage was used up. I speculated that this was why my phone data stopped syncing to the other calendars on the computer and cloud, though i did not know for sure. I deleted one of the two back ups and am about to delete the other one. I have never had this problem of running out of iCloud storage on my other phone. According to Settings>iCloud>Storage, i had 89MB. But since i have deleted one of the 2.4G backups (which was "incomplete") my new entries are still not showing up in iCal and on the iCloud.
Is there a way to get this feature to work again?
Are there things i can check or uncheck in settings or in Calendar or ??   that will get this to work well as it did in iOS 5?

ckuan - thank you for replying. i am really desperate for help. I have wasted so much time on this. I was on hold with Apple support for a long time and then had a call with a rep that lasted over an hour but he didn't know anything about issues of these kinds. i was put on hold a lot while he consulted. He did agree that the data wasn't syncing from iPhone to iCloud and iCal because the iCloud storage was used up by the iPhone back ups. So he advised deleting one of them. I now have 2.4G of storage on iCloud. Am i wrong to think that should be enough?   I still ave the original complete back up (2.4g) undeleted, in case there some reason that i need it. i don't like deleting things i don't have a good understanding of.
Following your instructions, i went to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars. I then scrolled down to Calendars and at the bottom, i see where it says Default Calendar. This raised new questions for me which i will ask you/others now:
On the Default Calendar page, there is a heading that says iCloud and there is a second heading that says my gmail email address, [email protected]. Under the iCloud heading, there is a list of 8 "calendars," called Work, Family, Pets, Home, etc. Under the gmail address heading, there is only one option listed, which is my gmail username. When i went to the Default Calendar option, as i think you suggested if i understood you right, i found that the Calendar with the checkmark next to it was the gmail user name, under the gmail address heading. Presumably, this is the same setting i had on my 4s with iOS 5.
I wanted to follow your instruction to change this to iCloud as Default Calendar. but the only option i have is to choose only one of those 8 "calendars," either Work, or Pets, or Home, etc. Does this make sense?   The only reason i know for having these many different calendars was to give different colors to the different event categories. I didn't really want them to be separate calendars. i just wanted to use the color coding for type of event in my overall calendar.
I don't know why this is suddenly so complicated and confusing, after working fine for the first two or three weeks i've had the new iPhone. Suddenly, when i enter events in Calendar, it's not reaching the cloud. If this is because my gmail and/or google user name was checked as the default calendar, that was not a setting i would've recently changed. I never would have set my iPhone to only use one of the iCloud sub-calendars at my default calendars.
But right now, per your instructions, i have checked Settings>Mail.Contacts,Calendars>Calendars>Default Calendar to iCloud>Home (Home being one of my 8 sub-calendars). When i look on the Mail,Contacts,Calendars setting list, under Default calendar, it now says Home, instead of my gmail username. Just to be clear, there is no way to check iCloud on the Default Calendar page. i have tried checking it, but it's just a somewhat grayed out heading and doesn't respond to attempts to check it, it's not offered as a Calendar option. Only the various sub-calendars are offered a default calendar options, under the grayed out iCloud heading. So, i selected Home, for no particular reason. i have lots of entries under different categories.
Here is the result:   still no new entries showed up in iCloud or iCal. In January, a couple of days ago, i entered three dental appointments, for which i have always used Health as what i thought was a category (not a separate "calendar"). The color of Health events is green. The color of Home events is Blue. After changing the Default Calendar from gmail email address>user name to iCloud>Home (blue), the dental appointment in January did not show up. But when i went into the first dental appointment event>edit and changed the "calendar" to Home, it then showed up on the calendar. The other two dental appointments which were still Health did not show up.
Then, i changed the first dental appointment that is showing up in January back to Health (green). It still shows up, now, colored green, even though Home/blue is now my default calendar. But the two other dental appointments are not showing up.
Does this mean if want to use my Calendar and have the data backed up in iCloud and iCal, from now on, i need to use only one sub calendar and give up using the different color codes because iOS 8 is forcing me to choose only one sub calendar to be my whole calendar, and the only way to use different colors for different categories of events would be to first enter it as the default sub calendar (such as dental appointment>Home), and then go back and edit it into the correct sub calendar (such as changing it to the correct category, Health) to show the correct one instead of the "default" one?
Why was this made so much more difficult and complicated than it used to be? It was working normally up until a couple of days ago.
What i need, if possible, is info on what setting i can use to go back to using my gmail address user name as my default calendar, so that it can just work properly as it did before. It seems ridiculous that i am forced by iCloud to use a sub category as my default calendar and everything that isn't entered as that subcategory will not be processed in iCloud. Why does iCloud provide these sub calendar category options at all, if it's going to force people to only be able to use one of them?
What am i missing here?
Is there a setting that would enable combining all subcategories as one calendar, called iCloud, but where i could still use the different colors for different categories?

Calendar Widget Not Showing Upcoming Events

I've upgraded to the latest N900 firmware (pr1.2) and ever since I have had a problem with the calendar widget. All the events are contained in the calendar when I open it however they are not displayed on the desktop widget.
I've got events loaded for the month of June but for some reason these are not showing. Instead I have events showing for July, September and even December. I've tried removing all the entries and the re-adding them but this hasn't solved the problem. I also created another calendar and placed the entries in the new one, again this didn't work.
Does anybody have any idea how I can resolve this problem.

I have exactly the same problem with the Calendar Widget not showing all upcoming events. It will show events way in the future but skip events inbetween. I've tried all day with PC Suite 7.1 and Outlook 2007 and some freshly entered events come across for unknown reasons whilst others do not. No amount of changing local entries to synchronized ones, deleting all calendar info from the phone and re-syncing by USB cable or Bluetooth solves the problem.
It worked fine before and, as you say, corresponds with the recent n900 software update.
I SINCERELY HOPE NOKIA READ THESE BULLETIN BOARDS.
Also, why isn't there a fully compatible PC Suite or Ovi Suite for the n900? I have a PC running Windows 7 and Nokia have told me in the past that they do not have a fully functional, compatible PC/Ovi Suite for Windows 7 and the n900.
IF ANYONE CAN HELP I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT

IPhone Calendar does not show all outlook events

I have an iPhone 4. On my iPhone calendar, random events will be missing. My Outlook, ipad, and even iPod will all show the events. I have deleted and recreated the exchange mail & calendar. There is even other iphones on my same server who do NOT have this issue. I can organize an event and it will show on their iPhone, however it will randomly choose not to show on mine. Out of 100 events a month, about 2-3 do not show. Please help!!

This is exactly what's happening to me. I've been able to recreate this on a Touch also with OS4. It's not occuring on OS3. I've only been able to recreate the problem on July 30th and August 1st calendar dates for some reason. It may be happening on other dates also but I havn't been able to find any.
To recreate the problem go into day view on the calendar. Go to August 1st and create a calendar entry. Then touch the left arrow to go back a day then touch the right arrow to return to august 1st and your entry is invisible. It's still there because if you go forward a day then go back a day it shows.
I've been using list view only now to avoid missing these invisible entries.

A multi-day/all-day event in the iCloud calendar does not show up in iCal if the "all-day" box is checked

When I establish a multi-day event on iCloud but do not check the "all-day" box it shows up just fine in iCal as an event that exists on each day along side the other events that occupy those dates. However, when I check the "all-day" box when editing the event (in either calendar) the event completely disappears from the iCal calendar (it shows up across the top of the iCloud calendar in the "all-day eventt" line. On my iPhone, there is no change in appearance (the event shows up on each day).
Anybody have a clue what causes this? Maybe just a "feature" of iCal beta?

This is exactly what's happening to me. I've been able to recreate this on a Touch also with OS4. It's not occuring on OS3. I've only been able to recreate the problem on July 30th and August 1st calendar dates for some reason. It may be happening on other dates also but I havn't been able to find any.

Calendar does not show events for current month unless I switch away and back

I have had this issue on my iPad 1st gen (with OS 5.1, also happened on previous OS version) where when I open my calendar in month view, the entire month will be blank (have no events showing). I have to swipe to a different month and then back to the first month, and then it will show all of my events for the month. This is a pretty annoying bug. Are there any fixes for this?
edit: I see this has also been reported at https://discussions.apple.com/message/17750848

Happening to me, too. Started with 5.0 and continues on 5.1. I referenced your thread in the one that you listed, just to keep them linked up and build up a list of affected users.
