Calendar Invites and Accounts

Hi there...
I have my iPhone 5, iPad Mini retina and Macbook pro all perfectly synced and happy using iCloud.
My set up is
iCloud: Sync Everything
2 Exchange Accounts (for WORK only): Set up to sync/push Mail ONLY
Facebook: Syncing Contacts and Calendars
The invites system is working perfectly well between myself and my partner's iPhone and iPad using shared and personal calendars...
What is bugging the **** out of me is that whenever I have an appointment that I need to invite my partner to, I start typing her name or email address in, but the options that get offered are the email addresses for not just iCloud (my partner, for example) but also ALL of the contacts in the exchange accounts...!
Bearing in mind this is NHSmail... It's not just offering up the FEW nhs emails (exchange) that I have saved in my contacts... but ALL of the contacts available in the NHSmail/Exchange system.
I have checked all 3 devices (my partner doesn't have any exchange accounts at all) IPad, iPhone 5 and MacBook... and ALL of them only have the exchange accounts marked for syncing mail (so I receive it) and not calendars or contacts.
I have checked internet account settings on macbook, calendar preferences (accounts) on MacBook calendar, and Mail/Contacts/Calendars->Accounts on the portable devices.
Basically everywhere I look the Exchange accounts are set for mail only and nothing else... So why all these thousands of other email addresses accesible to me when I want to invite from my calendar..???
Any help much appreciated..!!

I should say as well.. that as far as I can see, the ONLY thing active for the Exchange accounts on all devices is Mail...
So I'm wondering if, despite everything else being switched off in the Exchange accounts, whether having even JUST the Exchange mail active is allowing Apple calendar to somehow access the whole Exchange global contacts list... When I only want it to access iCloud.
Apart from being able to access and download email, I want my work and personal information kept apart... If there are contacts within Exchange that I MIGHT want to contact outside of work.. I have them in iCloud.

Accepting calendar Invitations and IOS8.02

Since upgrading to iOS 8.02 on my iPad Air i have noticed numerous calendar invitations from my wife that appear in my calendar but when I click OK I am not able to accept them. I was able to accept them on my iPhone 6 and iCloud.com but not on the iPad Air. I have had the same problem with other appointments where I could accept them on the iPad Air but not on the iPhone 6. The invitation appears in the calendar but I still have the INBOX (1), indicating the invitation was not accepted. Killing the calendar app and rebooting all devices has not solved the issue. Also accepting them in iCloud.com has not solved the problem.

I have the same issue. It seems crazy to go to the trouble of setting up MobileMe calendars to enable them to be accessed from Mac, iPhone, iPad etc yet only be able to add an received invitation to a calendar on the Mac with no apparent way of moving it into one of the MobileMe calendars. Even odder as one can create a new event in an "On My Mac" calendar and later move it to an "[email protected]" calendar. Why not a received event?
I hope I am missing something. Any ideas out there?

Accepting calendar invites with 2 exchange accounts on iPhone?

My setup:
iphone 4S - 5.1.1
2 Exchange server accounts (1 home, 1 work).
When I get sent a calendar invite from Work, I accept it on my iPhone and it goes back to sender with my personal email address. How do I prevent this? It didn't use to do this, it would accept the calendar invite and return with the work email.
Help??

When you accept the appointment, is it in your business calender or in the private one?
When it goes back, is it your e-mail-adress or the signature that is wrong (you know, only one signature for both accounts unless you update to iOS6, which can handle separate sigs for each acccount).
I recommend setting your business calender as default (Settings>Mail, contacts...>Calender>"Default"

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.

Email App of Kitkat 4.4.4 Cannot Recognize Outlook Calendar Invitation

I use the email app to connect to office's IMAP account. The email application cannot recognize calendar invitation sent from Outlook. It cannot recognize the email as calendar invitation and does not display date and place field of the invitation.
Sony, please help update this application with above functonality.
Thank you.

As i understand it, you need to use Exchange ActiveSync for this. If you recieve an invitation and use Exchange ActiveSync you can see the information about the meeting and select accept, tentative, decline and new time.

When declining a calendar invite, how do I propose an alternative time or add a note?

Using Apple's calendar, how do I decline a calendar invite and propose an alternative time and include a note?

No, I seemed to only get the three options Accept, Decline and Maybe. There are times when I want to decline with a note of why or decline and propose a different time.

Outlook Calendar Invites

When I receive an invite on my calendar at work it gives me the choice to accept without notifying others. It will, however still show up on my iphone as something I need to accept. The problem is, when I accept from my phone it sends a notification to everyone else on that particular calendar invite and I have a co-worker who does not want to see when I accept something on the calendar (apparently it completely messes her up ). So my question is is there a setting on my phone that I can change so that when I accept the calendar invites away from work it will not send a message to her saying that I did that?

The attachments can be viewed in the invitation but not in the actual calendar meeting.

Outlook 2013 / Exchange 2010 Calendar Invitations blank on recipient side

We have Exchange 2010 and Outlook 2013 for our clients. When our users send calendar invitations to external recipients, some of the recipients are receiving regular emails just containing the notes field and subject. Specifically, when we email
a @hotmail.com or @outlook.com address this occurs. However, when we send an external calendar invitation to @gmail.com, the recipient can see it as a calendar invite and reply with an accept/tentative/decline.

How is everything so far?

How do i get calendar invites to open and update icloud calendar instead of my local outlook account?

I recently started using iCloud for my calendar and have installed the MS Outlook iCloud plug in, but whenever I receive calendar invitations in any of the mail accounts I have configured in Outlook, only my local calendar on my computer is being updated. How do I set up Outlook to have incoming calendar invitations update my iCloud calendar? I even tried opening the iCloud website, but all calendar items there also show up as .ics files, which automatically open in MS Outlook on my computer and again update only my local calendar (personal folders). I also tried setting the default data file in MS Outlook to the iCloud data file, but when I did that, Outlook gives an error message advising against setting the iCloud calendar as the default. I'm at a total loss and would GREATLY appreciate any advice anyone might be able to provide. Thanks to all for your time!

Hi Marknoon,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
In order to resolve this issue where you are unable to use iCloud calendars in Outlook, please follow the steps below, ensuring you follow them in order and testing after each step.
Troubleshooting on Microsoft Windows (Microsoft Outlook)
If you're having trouble with iCloud Calendar on a PC (with Outlook 2007 or later), try each of these steps, testing after each to see if the issue is resolved.
Note: iCloud Control Panel does not support Outlook 2010 Personal Edition. When using iCloud Control Panel 2.0 and later, iCloud Calendar event descriptions in Outlook 2010 do not support text formatting (bold, italics, or underline), HTML, images, or attachments. The contextual menu (right-click) has also been disabled.
Verify that you are using a Windows configuration supported by iCloud.
Make sure that your computer is online. Attempt to view www.apple.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud calendars and events will not update in Outlook. Learn about troubleshooting your Internet connection.
Open a secure website to test if ports 80 and 443 are accessible. Outlook requires port 443 access to iCloud to push and fetch updates to and from the iCloud Calendar servers.
Verify that your iCloud member name is entered into the iCloud Control Panel window. Learn about setting up iCloud on Windows.
Close and reopen the iCloud Control Panel.
Make sure that iCloud is not your default account in Outlook:
In Outlook 2013 and 2010, select File > Info > Account Settings > Data Files. If iCloud is listed as the default account in the Comments column, select a different account and click Set as Default.
In Outlook 2007, select File > Data File Management > Data Files. If iCloud is listed as the default account in the Comments column, select a different account and click Set as Default.
If you recently made changes in Outlook and they are not updating on your other devices or vice versa, click the Refresh button in Outlook.
Turn iCloud Calendar off and back on:
Close Outlook.
Open the iCloud Control Panel:
In Windows 8.1, go to the Start screen, click the down arrow in the lower-left corner, then click the iCloud app.
In Windows 8, go to the Start screen, then click the iCloud tile.
In Windows 7, choose Start menu > All Programs > iCloud > iCloud.
Deselect the checkbox next to Mail, Contacts, Calendars & Tasks, and click Apply. Wait a few seconds, then replace the checkmark and click Apply.
Open Outlook and test to see if the issue has been resolved.
Make sure that the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active within Outlook. (Learn more about managing Add-ins with Microsoft Outlook.)
Outlook 2013 and 2010:
Open Outlook 2013 or 2010.
Click the File menu.
Click Options in the left panel of the Outlook window.
Click Add-Ins in the left panel of the Outlook Options window.
Look at the list of add-ins beneath "Active Application Add-Ins" and verify that "iCloud Outlook Add-in" is listed.
Outlook 2007:
Open Outlook 2007.
From the Tools menu, choose Trust Center.
Select Add-ins from the left column.
Look at the list of add-ins beneath "Active Application Add-Ins" and verify that "iCloud Outlook Add-in" is listed.
Restart your computer. This may sound simple, but it reinitializes your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.
Note: When enabling Mail, Contacts, Calendars & Tasks in the iCloud Control Panel, part of the setup process is to copy your Calendars data from the default Outlook .pst file to iCloud, then remove the Calendars from the .pst file by placing them in the Deleted Items folder in Outlook. The Calendars data is then stored in the iCloud data set within Outlook so that changes can be pushed to and from Outlook by iCloud. Make sure that you're looking for your data within the iCloud folder in Outlook after enabling Calendars in the iCloud Control Panel. The deleted files can be seen by viewing Deleted Items within your Outlook Folder List. This is not iCloud removing your data. iCloud simply copies your data into the iCloud data set and then removes the local Calendars data by placing it in the Deleted Items folder.

How do I stop receiving calendar invites on iCal/iCloud and use exchange 2013 calendar instead?

I Have an exchange 2013 email account which isn't registered as part of my iCloud account.
i Use my outlook calendar (exch) for work and the same exch calendar day to day from all my iOS devices.
when a colleague or outside email away from my company sends me a calendar meeting request, it works fine. (Using my exch email as the invite recipient).
my girlfriend sends me a meeting request from her hotmail account using the same exch email address for me, but he. Invites always arrive to my iCloud/iCal calendar instead! I can't seem to change it so I often miss diary notes or reminders unless I constantly look at both calendars.
i Just want to use exchange calendar and lose iCal (or if easier sync both iCal and exchange calendars vica versa - but that may be over complicating the issue, basically I just need one calendar and would rather it be my outlook exchange cal)
any ideas?

Hello again,
False alarm..... it didnt work sorry.
I removed the iCal accounts from my mac, and also from my iphone. Then when my partner sent me a calendar invite it simply didnt arrive at all!
She has a hotmail account installed on her IOS iphone 5.
She is sending the invite to my exch 2013 email address which is not associated with any icloud account.
My exch 2013 email is installed in both my Outlook for mac 2011 and IOS device Iphone 5s.
When I switch the iCloud Calendar back on in my iphone 5s, the invite comes through but ONLY optional to the icloud calendar. I cannot seem to get it receiving on my default calendar which is set to Exchange 2013 account.
Its very strange as its only her invites that do this. Anyone else's come through on my exchange calendar because its the same email address receeving it my end.

HT5567 Iphones and Ipads with IOS 6.0.x and later getting Calendar invitation even so that Delegate access is enable on exchange 2010 and outlook 2010

I'm Running Exchange 2010 with outlook 2010 in my environment, since Apple OS went from 5.x to 6.x I been having issues where the Iphones and Ipads running OS version 6.x or higher do not acknowledge that the exchange user has a calendar delegate and are automatically accepting the invitations, not allowing the Delegate to acknowledge first, If this test is run on any Apple devices running OS Version 5.x but less than 6.x the issue is not there.. any one that may have encounter with this situation got a fix or a possible resolution on it.. Thanks

Ok, well after looking at everything, I decided that the best solution was to uninstall an App called "Tango", as it seemed to 'mess' with contacts directly, and I only use it with 1 person, so switching back to Skype (plus Tango sends/shares lots of personal
info, location, and keeps changing it's access rights and doing stuff when you're not looking - I'm sure some people love it, but for me, it's a belts and braces get rid of anything that might have 'contributed' to this issue).
Found my un-sync'd contacts and emailed them to myself, then deleted the Exchange active-sync account. Checked what was left, found google had managed to sync some stuff, cleared that up too!
RE-created the account on the S4 - only need the email and password, as it finds the server and sets itself up automatically (I guess it did that previously).
All is now working, after about 5mins the data had been re-populated and it sync's new changes instantly. But I will monitor from time to time to check that new contacts or added numbers etc do sync. My best guess is that some index or other data became corrupt.
Just one of those things (or had I been tango'd?!).
On the Truncating Notes Issue, the S4 (realised that it's running Android 4.3) does chop a note but only if edited, at 1001 chrs. However unlike others, it seems to only truncate the note if you actually edit the note field, so adding a phone number or removing
one, leaves the note field intact!
To summaries other devices behaviour with the Contact record Notes Field:
- iPhone 3GS (on iOS 6.1.3) truncates at 32,777 chrs (so pretty big notes!)
- Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (GT-N8020 - Android 4.1.1) chops at about 1,000chrs, even if just adding a phone number to the contact - so not even editing the notes field
- HTC One X (4.2.2) at 5,122 chrs (when editing any part of the contact)
I hope this might help someone in the future if they have similar problems ...
cheers

Why do I have the Invite Attendee option in some calendar events and not in others?

I just entered a lot of kids' activities into my Blackberry and couldn't send them to my husband's--the option was not there. I have previously been able to do this. In events that I entered prior to tonight, the invite attendee option is still there, even if I hadn't invited anyone yet. In each event that I entered tonight, the option is not there. I recently installed the newer version of Facebook. My husband changed his facebook options (unchecked the box connecting his facebook account with the blackberry calendar application) and his invite attendee option returned. I tried the same thing, and it did not work. I also went under default services and changed the calendar (CICAL) to an email address instead of facebook, and that also did not work. I don't know if I have BES or BIS--how do I find out? I have tried checking to see if the desktop organizer is using the blackberry wireless synch as mentioned in a previous post, but that isn't an option next to calendar (only ASCII Importer/Exporter or Yahoo).

Please tell me who is the email provider, Google, Yahoo, etc.

Houston, we have a problem! The first version of Facebook that came out, had a bug that changed the default CICAL
to Facebook. In Default services the CMIME and CICAL should match the main email address, that is also the main
address on your PC.
Go to the calendar and once started, menu key, options. Calendar options is the name of the screen. You will see a calendar
for each email address, and one for Facebook. Highlight and click each calendar, not the number of records in each.
If you a a calendar for Device Default, let us know the records for that one as well.

If your phone is a personal phone you setup your self, you're most likely BIS. I don't think this will be related to
the wireless sync. Please tell me what Calendar do you sync with. Outlook, Yahoo, etc.
Please go to options, advanced options, applications. Find Facebook and click on it, scroll down and tell me what
version it is. OK?
Thanks,

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

I have my Calendar app syncing with iCloud. Every time I open it it says, "Moving Calendars to Server Account..." It runs and runs and does not stop. As a result, I cannot access my calendars. Please help.
