Calendar invitation reply without sender

Hello,
I use the mail and calendar app from OS X Yosemite together with Exchange.
When I receive an calendar invitation and click on accept or decline in mail.app, then everything works fine.
If I do the same from the calendar.app, then the reply is not sent, but stored in drafts in mail.app.
When examining why it is not sent, I discover that there is no sender set.
What can I do to make it functioning from calendar.app, too?
Regards
Florian

Mail/Preferences/Composing.
If that doesn't work, Mail/Preferences/Accounts/Account Information - select an account, then Outgoing mail server (SMTP), select edit from the drop down menu and create a server for each - e-mail address. Then go to each account and choose the proper Outgoing mail server.

Calendar invitation: impossible to send your response to the invitation!

Hi there,
My iphone is in French. When I receive a calendar invitation, when I accept it, it would not send the response to the invitation!
Can you help please?
Thanks

sorry for the cross post
I found the solution : I use an outputStream. Here is the code
     public ModelAndView getViewdomainReport(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
          long domainId = Long.parseLong(request.getParameter("domainId"));
          long projectId = Long.parseLong(request.getParameter("projectId"));
          String isQA = request.getParameter("isQA");
          Domain domain = domainManagementService.getDomain(domainId);
          List domainRows = domainManagementService.viewDomain(domainId,projectId,isQA);
          String domainString = reportManagementService.getViewdomainReport(domainRows,domain);
          String filename = domain.getDomainNameWithoutBlank()+".csv";
          response.setContentType("text/csv");
         response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\""
                   + filename + "\"");
         OutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
         InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(domainString.getBytes());
         int count;
         byte buf[] = new byte[4096];
         while ((count=is.read(buf))>-1) {
              os.write(buf,0,count);
         os.flush();
         os.close();
         is.close();
         return null;
     }

Calendar Invite/Reply scaling across apps and platforms.

I have kind of a general discussion I'd like to open regarding calendaring and scalability.
I'm doing support for a small office of about a dozen people. There's currently no standard calendaring solution. I'd like to get everyone on iCloud, but any one solution will do.
Everyone's on Mavericks and using Office 2008 or 2011.
Some have Google calendars.
Some love Entourage.
Some use Calendar and Mail.app.
I have one user that's experiencing a lot of pain using her calendar. She's trying to coordinate a week of events for a group and she's doing it by sending invites out of iCloud/Calendar app. She'd previously been doing it via Google/Calendar.app.
Now, she's got maybe two dozen recipients outside our office. She might get replies from half. The remainder either don't get the message or reply, but my client never receives it. So she's got to go tracking down replies one by one.
Here's my general question.
For that many recipients... who knows Mac/PC/iPhone/Android... what OS/App versions... is organizing an event this way worth it? Is this the right tool for the job? I know if everyone was on iCloud at least, things would probably just work. But that's not the case here.
Should she be using an evite service, for example, with a group that large and diverse?
Are there people out there sending invites from their Calendar.app to large and diverse groups of recipients without problems? If so, I want to find out why it's working for you or why it's not for me.
Thanks.
Just FYI, in my IT experience, this has not come up. Either I was at a large company where calendaring was handled centrally, not by the Mac IT staff, or, I guess people either weren't inviting large groups or doing it "manually."

Update as of 24th APril 2012
Problem #1 still remains unresolved but instinct is telling me that the mime format of the mail message coupled with the content of the .ICS attachment is causing Mail to not pass this onto iCal as a proper invite. However, clicking the attachment does force iCal to recognise the invite and to raise alert in the notification panel. This is inconvenient for the MD pimary user of the Mac in our Org. Would really appreciate any feedback or workarounds.
Problem #2 seems to have been resolved when we discovered that the end-user had not selected a "MyCard" as the 'user card' in the local Apple Addressbook Card file. After doing this the link between iCal and Mail started to respond when an invite was replied to causing the a mail message to be sent to the organiser.

Calendar invites don't send

When I attempt to share a calendar the invite never sends and the 'pending' stats just disappears... Sharing photo stream works fine.

Calendar Invite Attendee without EXCHANGE

I moved from Blackberry to iPhone 3GS last week. I don't use an Exchange Server, but run Outlook on my Dell desktop. All synching has been completed. Question: Is there anyway to invite an attendee from the Calendar functon of the iPhone when NOT using an Exchange Server environment? That is such a basic function I can't believe Apple doesn't provide for this rudimentary capability.

Wow wow wow, STOPP
of course it is possible. If you are going to invite somebody on the iPhone you can still add a person with his/her eMail address in full name, e.g.
Wow wow what? Where do you add the invitee?? There is no option for adding an invitee unless you are creating the calendar event in an Exchange or MobileMe calendar. The OP does not seem to have either of those.

IPhone 5 synced to Exchange sends automatic email when I RSVP to a calendar invite. I don't want that.

I have an iPhone 5 that is synced to my work's Exchange server for my contacts, calendar, and emails. When I RSVP to a calendar invite the phone automatically sends an e-mail to the sender. Many times I do not want to send an e-mail. For example I may not attend a specific meeting but I still want it on my calendar. I have to accept the invite in order for the event to remain on my calendar. How do I turn off that feature? Please help. IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!

Did you find a solution to this? I'm having the same problem. My default account is my work account, but Calendar invites are being send from my icloud account.

When I send out a calendar invite

My Apple ID is under my home email address, but I use my iPhone 4S for work, with a work email address. When I send a calendar invite to someone in my office it comes to them under my home email and when they accept the invite, it sends the email to my home email address. Can I change that, or do I have to set-up a new apple id usung my work email?

Problems with email calendar invites...

Hopefully I can explain this in a simplified manner.
I use my own domain for email services going back almost 8 years. Under this domain, Our entire family uses the email addresses (2 adults, 2 kids) associated with the domain. Each email address have an iCloud address tied to it however, the iTunes associated email for apps/music is shared across all devices. (My wife and I share our contacts/calendar)
For some reason I have not been able to get email notifications to work with calendar in any of the last 2 Mac OS. What am I missing here? Does it just not work by sending a notification to a non iCloud email even though it is associated with it? It seems to work if I add my work exchange mail for example.
Cheers

Calendar invites that don't give me any information

There are few things I hate more than calendar invites, but sometimes I have to deal with them because annoying people insist on them.
Anyway, so I get them in Mac Mail and sometimes I can look at them in the body of the email which is nice. Other times they're just this little attachment sitting there. So I have to open the attachment, which then opens the Mac Calendar program and it always just opens to today. There is never a clue as to where this idiotic invite would up. The only way to find it is to search for it, which isn't always easy because sometimes the name wasn't obvious in the invite.
I'll spare my rant on how annoying these things are, but why doesn't calendar open up right to the invite? Is this normal or is something wrong?

Hey nickaster,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you want to find invites in the Calendar. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

How can I delete a spam calendar invitation without replying?

OS X 10.9.4, Calendar version 7.0 (1841.1)
I have a spam calendar invitation. I am pretty sure it did not come through email, since I can't find any email message in inbox, junk, trash, or anywhere else, with any content that matches this spam event.
Besides, "Add new invitations to Calendar" has been set to "Never" all along.
How can I get rid of this invitation without sending a reply to the spammer?
One suggestion I read is to move it to a local "on my mac" calendar first. I don't have any such calendar, and can't see a way to create one!

You might try just selecting the event and pressing the delete key. You would normally get a prompt with the option to delete without notifying:

How do I accept or decline a calendar invitation in iOS8 without sending a response?

This specific scenario is Exchange 2013 and iOS8.
I want to be able to accept/decline/tentative in response to a calendar invitation from my iPhone without sending a response to the inviter.
I do not think Exchange probably has anything to do with it, but that is the set up.
Thanks!

Decline a call and send it directly to voicemail. Do one of the following:
Press the Sleep/Wake button twice quickly.
Press and hold the center button on your headset for about two seconds. Two low beeps confirm that the call was declined.
Tap Decline (if iPhone is awake when the call comes in).
Respond with a text message instead of answering. Tap Message and choose a reply or tap Custom. To create your own default replies, go to Settings > Phone > Respond with Text, then tap any of the default messages and replace it with your own text.
Remind yourself to return the call. Tap Remind Me and indicate when you want to be reminded.

How can I respond to a calendar invitation without sending a response e-mail back to the sender?

My job requires many appointments, therefore my boss sends me multiple calendar invitations each day. It is getting quite annoying for him when he receives a response e-mail every single time. Is there a way to turn this feature off?

Hello there, David.
The following link from the online iPhone User Guide provides some great information on how to adjust that notification setting:
Share iCloud calendars
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph7613c4fb
Particularly:
Turn off notifications for shared calendars. When someone modifies a shared calendar, you’re notified of the change. To turn off notifications for shared calendars, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Shared Calendar Alerts.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can i fix this without turning off iCloud?

My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can I fix this without turning off iCloud?
I am at a new office that uses Outlook (not Outlook Exchange) which does not sync with my mobile... I just got iCloud set up on my PC to sync my contacts, calendar, reminders, etc... The sync worked (not without flaws, but the other issues seem solvable... I think), so that i can now see all my appointments on both my phone and on my PC. The problem I am having is that iCloud moved all of my calendar items from Outlook into iCloud calendar and now when I send out meeting/calendar invites the recipients may accept them, but the meeting does not get added to their calendar. This is a huge problem and may mean that i need to turn off iCloud.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks!

I am replying to my own post here as I seem to have fixed the problem.
I do have some calendars that are shared. Some of those are shared with users who have time zone support turned on. So i activated time zone support on my iphone, then deleted my icloud subscription. I then signed in to icloud again and voila... problem solved.
It is a weird one as the other calendar views were always fine and when you opened an event that appeared in the wrong day (on list view), the correct date of the event was shown in the information...
one more bug in a complicated system I guess

ICal Sending Repeat Calendar Invitations

I setup a recurring calendar invitation in iCal, and it sent half a dozen invitations after the initial invitation was accepted. What's going on?

I am having the same issue when sending iCal event invitations to Outlook users (both are on macs). They just don't receive any email invite to reply to, so remain unaware of the event.
I cannot see a way of checking whether they have even been sent, as non-Outlook users receive the invite emails fine.
Is there a log somewhere that lists the invites sent out perhaps?
I can't believe it's impossible to invite an Outlook user to an event via iCal on a mac, any suggestions would be gratefully received.
I'm using OSX 10.7.5. iCal is linked to an iCloud account that used to be a MobileMe account.
I tried following the instructions in: http://www.ehow.com/how_5887667_send-ical-invites-outlook.html, but couldn't get the code to "compile" without errors, so reverted to the original.

Accept invitation without sending repsonse?

I have my iphone connected to my Exchange account. I want to be able to accept meeting invites without sending a response to the meeting organizer.
Is that possible?

Actually, the "iCal" invite comes from Exchange. I can add them to my iCal calendar just fine but the reply sent back to the originator of the event does nothing for my status in the Exchange item -- I still show as tentative. All they get is an email that says I'll be attending (or not).
Since most folks I know around here don't really look to see who's attending or not, I'd rather just not send the response.
Your suggestion for disconnecting is interesting though. While that is not an option for me (I'm always connected to one or more servers), I could try going offline while accepting the invite and then delete the message.
I'll give that a try.
Thanks!
