Calendar entries sending out notifications on shared calendars (again)

I have a MBP and many iDevices. My wife and I share some calendars. About 6 months ago every time one of us added or edited an entry on one of our shared calendars, the other received a notification. It went away in a few days.
Now it is happening again. I think this is an issue on Apple's servers.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Bryan

I've had this same issue, as have others, for years.  I think there's a long-standing bug or design decision in Mac OSX (or possibly iCloud) which causes these excess, unwanted notifications.
The way I solved this issue for me is to not use the internal iCloud calendar sharing, but to subscribe to the ICS file on each device I want to see this calendar.  Use the  webcal:// or https:// URL provided by OSX Calendar app.  iOS, and Mac have mostly reliable, easy-to-use support for ICS subscriptions.  This should work (perhaps with a helper app) on Windows and Android as well.
The subscribers to this calendar have (I believe) read-only access to the calendar, but also, no pesky notifications of changes.

  • Is it possible to send out notification request to approve PO?

    Dear all,
    In case user delete the mail which is workflow send out the PO needs his/her approval. How can I send it out the same nofitication to users?
    Thanks,
    Amy

    You can not re-send the email.
    However, the user can simply go to the workflow notifications screen.
    Purchasing Superuser > Notifications summary.
    The workflow notification will still be there. You can open it and approve the PO.
    Hope this answers your question

  • Web form - Contact Us Form is not sending out notification emails

    I created a very simple webpage myself, basically what it does is to tell customers that leave you email here and we'll let you know when we open.
    This was my process:
    Built the webform in Muse;
    Published;
    Added a new domain;
    Configured the nameserver at Godaddy's side;
    Came back to my Adobe Business Catalyst Admin Console;
    Modified the webform a bit more through Site Manager -> Web Form;
    Updated by hitting the 'Update' button;
    Now, the Autoresponder Email is sending to my customers as described. However, I never receive anything that tells me 'Hey, a new customer just sent you an email and here it is.'
    Anyone knows why? Is it because I didn't setup GoDaddy right? or if it's something wrong with the mail server since I dont have one? But my customers got the autoresponder email...Raaaaa I'm so confused.

    If you log in to your business catalyst site, and select your webform, and click the 'notification e-mail' button, does it contain the email address you expect?

  • Just switched over to Firefox; not enabling me to send out in messages since switching over..

    While in Internet Explorer; my yahoo internet account was compromised and I wasn't able to open any emails. I decided to give up on Internet Explorer and moved over to Mozilla Firefox for the added protection it offered. Now that I moved I am not able to send out notification emails to my address box. Is there a simple fix? I am using Window XP Professional.

    Please update to Firefox 19.0.2 [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]
    What address box are you using?

  • Email Notification on Calendar list Sharepoint Foundation 2013 not sending out email

    Hi,
    Actually i have 2 problem. I just don't have any idea how to solve them.
    1 ) I have a machine installed with Windows Server2012 and Sharepoint Foundation 2013. Email invitation from system and alert me email is working fine. Then I created a few email sending workflow using sharepoint designer 2013. The email are going out fine
    for list or document library but gave out error when i tried to send from Calendar list. The error is saying that the outgoing email is not configured correctly. If that was the case, should it be that i will receive error for all.
    2) I have another machine with same installation as above but doesn't send out any kind of email(Invitation,alert me, SPD2013 custom worflow). I've checked telnet port 587, it is responding fine. I want to know if i need to open port in the firewall/router
    settings for this port or if this issue is due to something else.
    Any help is really appreciated.

    This post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or view of Microsoft, its employees, or other MVPs.
    Look.
    I think this is the correct configuration because it sends emails normaly with SharePoint 2010.
    If I configure my own email account in Outbound Security, Sharepoint 2013 sends emails but just when I login to Sharepoint, if other users login it doesn't send emails.

  • How to stop ical from sending email notifications for updates on my share ical calendar

    Is it possible stop ical from sending email notifications for updates I make on my share ical calendar?
    Mac OSX 10.7.2
    Very annoying for the person I am sharing my calendar with to get an email every time I change something.
    I hope there is a way to stop the emails, but for the updates to still go on their calendar.
    Thanks

    Great idea Lofty! thanks. If the person you are sharing a calendar with is a Yahoo Mail user, you only need to set up one filter (under Options - Mail Options - Filters) and route to Spam folder or a special folder for that purpose.
    Add a filter with the following parameters:
    Sender contains:    "Your First and Last Name" as it appears in the emails they are receiving
    Subject contains:  "Your First Name"
    Email body contains: "iCloud"
    Don't need to match case on anything. 
    So far, only these unwanted emails are being routed to the folder I chose.
    Hope that helps until Apple gets it's act together

  • Business iCal sending out multiple calendar invites - one calendar and one account, 2 people using it for work

    First question:
    My boss has a Macbook Pro (iPad & iPhone), I have a Dell and iPad.  We use his iCal for our work calendar and my Outlook is logged into his iCal so that I can load appointments & send them out to clients.  He obviously has access to the same calendar so that he can also load appointments.
    We have realised that sometimes the meeting invite, although I only send ONE invite out, will send 6 invites to a person. Here below you will see the icons that appear next to the 6 invites that the person that receives it sees next to the invites. It is therefor 3 types of emails/invites that are each sent out twice to the client.  This is obviously not ideal. Could it be that I must not include my boss in the invites (as it is already his calendar sending out the invites), or what could it be that I am doing wrong?
    Second question:
    How can I ensure that replies (Yes/No/Maybe/Comments) appear in the iCal meeting, as people reply, but those replies I have to copy and paste into the meeting as they do not currently automatically update in the meeting.
    Third question:
    Any suggestions on a better system/method?
    Please help!

    I think I know what can help. I also support Mac users in a mixed environment, and find that being able to access a Windows machine to test settings for my iCal users is very very helpful. If you do not have one, I could also fix this one by adding the user's account to my one Mac that runs Entourage.
    On a PC: set up one of the problem accounts in Outlook, then go to Tools->Options & click on the Delegates tab. Click on a Delegate name (if they all have the same permission level, you can select all), then click the Permissions button. If the delegate have "Editor" permissions, there will be a little checked box that sends the delegate copies of all those meetings. De-select it.
    Lemme know if you want Entourage instructions or if that does it for you.
    The real question, of course, is why are there so many Exchange functions that iCal can't touch. Grrrr....

  • How can I stop recieving notifications for shared calendars?

    How can I "mute" my whife's calendar? I want to see it, but not recieve her reminders and notifications. She has the same problem, she don't need to geet a pop up every time I have a meeting.
    Is there a way to "mute" shared calendars?

    I have the same problem with my/wife's shared calendar and from what I've read in the forum and tried, there's no way I've been able to avoid notifications.  As I recall, there's a setting somewhere to turn off notifications on shared calendars, but I tried it and it didn't fix the problem (if indeed it was supposed to fix that problem).

  • Can't turn off calendar notifications on shared calendar

    Hello,
    Since Yosemite I can't turn off calendar notifications on shared calendar.
    The notifications are turned off on calendar.
    The notification are turn off on the Google calendar settings.
    Am I missing something?
    Best,
    g.

    Hi gregorytrow,
    There's a shared calendar messages preference in Calendar preferences you may want to change.
    Calendar: If you’re not receiving alerts
    Choose Calendar > Preferences, click Alerts, and then deselect the “Turn off shared calendar messages in Notification Center” and “Turn off invitation messages in Notification Center” checkboxes.
    Take care,
    Nubz

  • Calendar Entries/Times Out by 1hour

    Hi guys, we've got multiple users with a wide varietry of Blackberry handhelds, Lotus notes has been updated wtih Daylight Savings Time, and we have pushed out a DST Patch from the BES yesterday.However, multiple users have said that their calendar entries are out by approx 1 hour forward from what their Lotus Notes entry is showing.
    We are running BES 4.1 and Lotus Domino 7.0.3 across our network.
    Has anyone else encountered a similar issue?
     - cheers

    this is the solution fromanother post
    Well, I finally figured it out myself.  It is not very intuitive.  By double-clicking on the account name in the upper right of the main iCloud window (in one's browser), one can change the time zone.  However, by itself that will not cause anything to appear differently.  Nor will telling iCloud to refresh the calendar.  It is necessary to logout of iCloud and then log back in.  That sets all events in the right time zone.

  • Updating a SharePoint Calendar and sending email notifications based on information from an Access Web App

    Hi MSDN Forum,
    I have created an Access Web App that I am hoping to add some functionality to. I am looking to provide email notification to different users from my organization (a field within the Access Table) when the current date approaches the renewal date (another
    field within the Access Table). I would also like to display all renewal dates on a SharePoint Calendar for users to see. Any advice on how to do this would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I'm not familiar with how Access Web Apps work. However, on the SharePoint side of things, it looks like a workflow will be your best bet. Are you using Visual Studio? I've created a few tutorials on sending email notifications in Visual Studio 2012. https://youtu.be/JFdiQEyDkEk

  • Which calendar app has the ability to send out meeting invitations?

    I need a good calendar app which I can have on my iPhone and during meetings will allow me to send out invites, without waiting to go to my computer. The default calendar does not do that.

    The Calendar app sends invites just fine for me, when creating the meeting I simply add invitees and when the event is added, invites are sent.
    You must have a default mail account setup of course.
    It also sends updates and cancel emails if things change.

  • Calendar is sending out new requests when I delete an event...

    This goes under the bizarre category.  After upgrading to Yosemite, when I delete an event, it is sending out new requests to the people that were on the event.
    100% reproducible.  We use Exchange Server.
    Thoughts?
    Macbook Pro, 10.10.
    Mark

    Phil, thank you for that info.  I just found the incoming section, but is different from what you show.  I don't have the "Delete from server" setting on my phone.  After Authentication mine shows IMAP Path Prefix/ and then goes to the Server Port as the next setting.  This is in my work email account and the one I really want to save on the server.  Any other idea or explanation on why different??
    On my personal account (Yahoo), the advanced screen was much different, but I think I found the same setting and changed it to never.  That one appears to be working.
    I appreciate your help a lot!!

  • I no longer can send out invitaion from the calendar app

    Since I got the iPhone5 I am no longer able to send out invitaions to other iPhone friends..... does any one know a solution to this? I have checked my Apple/iCould ID, and all setting on the phone..
    any ideas? thank you.

    I solved the problem going through apple Support.  Using iTunes I had to backup the data and then do a Restore to get the ipad back to its original settings.  Then I restored the backed up data and everything works Ok.  The only snag is that I had to download all the apps again from the Purchased option on the Apps Store.
    So I can now send as well as receive emails.
