Calendar Invites from Exchange Users

Hello All,
Not sure if anyone has any updates or ideas on this. I did a bit of a search but did not come up with anything. Hoping my search skills were adequate enough though.
Currently If I get an invite sent to me to my MobileMe account from another MobileMe user it works great. I get the item in my mailbox on my iPhone or iPad and it opens the attachment or goes into the iCal app and lets me accept it.
If I get an invite from a Microsoft Exchange user the attachment comes in like the others except it will not go into the invites area automatically. If I click the attachment it will let me add it to my calendar but not accept it. If I go to my other iOS device or on the web it will be there as a tentative appointment and I can accept from there. It seems that if I add it to my calendar on the iPad, I must go to the iPhone to accept it and vice versa. On the device that it adds it to, it adds it right in as a full meeting, but when you see it on the other device it is greyed out, that is the one which will let you accept.
I also found that there was no way to delete an invitation like that unless I went to mobile me on the web and choose to delete it there and if I wanted to accept it via the web I could not because the web browser did not know what to do with the ical attachment. (using web session at work where we unfortunately do not have Macs)
Anyone found a way to make this work or had a similar experience.
Regards,
Phillip

I am having the same problem, but sometimes the invitation is cancelled by me....and the cancellation sent out to all other invitees. There must be a bug between iCloud and Exchange as this is only happening on invites on my Exchange account.

Forwarding Exchange calendar invites from calendar app not working

We have Samsung Windows 8 phones and have discovered a problem with forwarding calendar invitations from within the calendar app on Exchange 2010 / ActiveSync.
User A on Exchange 2010 will create a new meeting request and send it to user B. User B will accept the calendar invitation on their Windows 8 phone. User B will then go into the calendar app on their phone and forwards the calendar item to User C. User
C does not receive anything nor does User A receive a notification that their original meeting invite has been forwarded. No error messages are shown on User B's phone. It's as if the forwarded item simply vanishes.
With the same scenario as above, if User B does NOT initially accept the meeting invite from User A and instead immediately forwards the invite to User C from within the MAIL app on his phone, before accepting the meeting, User C receives the invitation
as per normal and User A receives notification that their meeting request was forwarded, as expected.
If User B does NOT initially accept the meeting invite from User A, but then goes into the calendar app on their phone and attempts to forward the meeting request (showing as tentative as they have not accepted it yet), User C still does not receive anything
and User A does not get notification.
This appears to be a bug within the Calendar application on Windows 8 phones as forwarding meeting invites works fine from within the Mail app (provided the user has not accepted the meeting yet - once the meeting has been accepted in the mail app, the item
"disappears" and is no longer accessible except from within the Calendar app).
This is a pretty major issue with heavy calendar users (e.g. executives) as they will be forwarding accepted meeting requests from their calendars and without receiving any error messages will assume the forwarded invitation has gone through, when in fact
it hasn't.

We have reproduced this issue internally and are filing a bug to get this issue fixed. As soon as we have an update to this, we will report back on this thread. Thank you for raising this issue.

TS3899 Sending a meeting invite from Exchange 2007 account located in Central Time from Outlook 2010 Email Client located in Eastern Time cause meeting to show up 1 hour early on iPhone

Sending a meeting invite from Exchange 2007 account located in Central Time from Outlook 2010 Email Client located in Eastern Time cause meeting to show up 1 hour early on iPhone.

The meeting invite is being sent from a Computer through the Outlook 2010 Email Client. Both Computer and Outlook 2010 are set to Eastern Time. The OWA (Outlook Web Access) for the 2007 account is set to Eastern Time. The Outlook 2010 Email Client is connected to an Exchange 2007 account and the Exchange server for the exchange 2007 account is located in Chicago (Central Time) and is set to Central Time. When the meeting invite is sent from the Outlook 2010 Client the recipient receives the invite on his/her iPhone(set and located in the Eastern Time Zone) and a mime-attachment.ics file is attached to the meeting invite email. There is no info displayed in the subject line or message body. If the iPhone user opens the attachment it displays the meeting date and time and any other info that was sent from Outlook. The Outlook 2010 user sets the meeting for 10:00am to 11:00am. when the meeting invite mime-attachment.ics file is opened on the iPhone the meeting is displayed as 9:00am to 10:00am. if the iPhone user adds the ics file to his/her calendar it adds a meeting event that is scheduled 1 hour earlier than it is supposed to be. I had the iPhone user to set Time Zone support on and off and there is no change.

Issues with calendar invites from Outlook address that come to my gmail on iPhone

I have been trying for HOURS to get to the bottom of this iPhone calendar invite problem I'm having. I'll try to summarize.
I LOVE iCal and I want to continue using it. Though I have a personal mid-2010 Macbook Pro, I don't use it too much (my company functions solely on Windows). I almost exclusively use my iPhone 4S for calendar purposes. Yes, my calendar is synced up to iCloud. I have a gmail account as my primary apple ID and my mail account on the iPhone is synced with gmail. I've been very annoyed lately as I have been receiving a lot of calendar invites from a friend who has Outlook, and I cannot accept or decline when I received her invite. The events are added to my calendar, grayed out.
After much research, I realized that I had to setup my gmail account as an Exchange account on my iPhone, which I did. I then sent myself a test invite from Lotus Notes, and low and behold, I can now accept and decline!
..but I am VERY particular about my calendar organization, and I want to be able to choose which calendar the event is added to; however, it is added to my exchange (gmail) calendar, I guess because it was received on the gmail server. I want my calendar invites to be received on my ios device calendar! I don't know if having people use my .me account would help, but I don't want to tell everyone to change the email address to which they send me notifications, because I want to continue to receive mail at my gmail account (like the many calendars, I have many folders there and have everything set up the way I want it).
I get emails concerning work, events, tennis matches, etc via my gmail account, and I want to sort them to the correct calendar when the invite comes to my gmail while STILL maintaining the functionality to accept and decline invites.
Is this a crazy question?

I posted this question a while ago and didn't receive any responses but there are a lot of people who have viewed it and 10 have said they have the same question so I thought I would update you that I added my nanny to my exchange server account (created an email for her) and I send all invites to that email address and they work. So sending invites from an exchange server account to a non-exchange server account apparently is a bug so to solve it, get on an exchange server I guess.

Receiving calendar invites from gmail, possible?

I am attempting to receive calendar invites from my girlfriends HTC to my iPhone calendar.
She sends an invitation from her calendar app (which runs in google calendars) and sends that invite to my apple ID (which also happens to be a gmail address).
I receive an email which I can manually input into my calendar but I get no 'invite' as such. No invitation is shown when I click the button in the calendar app on my iPhone.
I'm just curious if it is possible?
I have successfully sent invites the other way around. My girlfriend received an email which allows her to accept through iCloud and then the entry shows up automatically both on her phone and on google calendars. To be able to do it the other way would be awesome.

Hi there,
There seems to be two parts to your problem:
1. Receiving the invitations through email rather than through the app's inbox.
2. Not being able to reply to the invite through email.
Regarding 2: does the event show up on your google calendar when you accept it? You can check that by logging into your gmail account in a web browser and looking at your calendar web-app.
If it does, then make sure, in your phones calendar/mail settings, that you gmail address is set to sync it's calendar to your phone.
If that doesn't work, I'm afraid I don't know more about that.
Regarding 1: What I might be able to help you with though is getting those invites to you Calendar app on your phne. Countless people have had this problem and still have it. This solution worked for me, it might work for you. If that doesn't work for you, I suggest you browse the forums here and at macrumors for more help.
SOLUTION:
1. Log in to you Google account ON A DESKTOP COMPUTER (I tried on mobile and it didn't work for me).
2. Access your google calendar. One way is through the "9 squares" icon on the top right of your browser.
3. On the middle-left portion of your screen, you will see your various calendars listed (e.g. Personal calendar, contacts birthdays, holidays, etc.). The top one should be your primary calendar, and immediately to the left of it is a downward pointing arrow. Click on it to reveal an options menu.
4. In that options menu, choose "Settings".
5. In the settings menu, at the top, there is a navigation menu. Click on "Notifications".
6. Inside the notification menu, there are a number of options for Email and SMS alerts. DISABLE ALL NOTIFICATIONS.
7. Don't forget to save the changes.
For me that did the trick. I assume that when a new invite is being processed through iCloud, it first checks with the email address if there are notifications settings enabled, and if so let's it handle the invite. Which could actually be the desired behaviour, although it should be more obvious. Either that or Google Calendar somehow hijacks the process.
Anyway it seems that when there as no notification setup with Google, the invite god through to the Calendar Inbox as usual.
This problem was a thorn for me, so I hope that fixes it for you as well!

Info: Using iPhone 5S, with iOS7, but previously had the same probl with iPhone 3GS using iOS6. Have been using the same Gmail account since the beginning and always had my Apple ID ash gmail address.

Calendar invites from ios7 not being sent to exchange users

I have a personal iPad and want to keep my personal calendar separate from my work calendar (which is on Exchange) but do need to add occasional personal items into my work calendar. My thought was to simply add my work email address as an invitee to any event I need in both calendars but I've tried this a few times now and the invite never arrives.
Any suggestions as to what I've not got set up correctly?
Thanks

I am having this problem as well. Specifically, when I create a new calendar meeting I am able to add users to the invitation and when I save the invite it gets sent. I have also modified an existing calendar event that has other people invited, and when I exit editing the meeting a pop up window specifically asks if I want to save my changes "and send it to the other invited participants" or something like that.
I click yes.
In both cases (the original creation and invitation, and the modification and send update to attendees) nothing is received by the other recipients. Not a calendar event or invitation, not an email with a .ics attachment or similar, or not even an email notification.
Thus, I set up an event in my calendar, invite others, and no one is aware that the event was set up.
Is there any way around this? I don't think I'm doing anything wrong as the process of creating an event, inviting someone, and sending out the invitation seems pretty straight forward. It just isn't working.

Invites from Exchange not showing up in my calendar's inbox

I invite myself to some things from my work computer, which uses an Exchange account, so that I can have them handy on my iPhone. I invite my iCloud email address, as I use my iCloud calendar on my phone. The invite gets sent in email form, and once they're added they show up in the "Replied" section of my Calendar app, but the incoming requests don't show up in my calendar's inbox. That would be a lot easier so that they don't get buried in my email inbox. Is there a way to have incoming calendar invites show up in my Calendar app instead of my email?

I have seen 3 potential solutions in this forum
1) If you are using iTunes Match Store > Update iTunes Match
2) Logging out of itunes store and logging in again
3) Downloading Free single of the week - no idea why this should work but people have reported it does

HT2480 Is there a way to clear the calendar invitations from the iPhone invite inbox when the Meeting is accepted by a delegate?

I am running an Exchange / Outlook 2010 environment with many mobile users accessing email and calendars with iPhones. Senior Executives have delegated their Calendars to Executive Assistants, who manage them mostly from Outlook. When Meeting requests arrive for the executives, their assistants Accept, Decline or mark as Tentative as the calendar allows.
The executives have only their mail account on their iPhone. The assistants have both their account and the executive's Exchange ActiveSync account on their phones. When the request is handled and a Send Response Now is submitted, the calendar invitation does not get cleared from the Senior Executive's Calendar invitation inbox, or the Calendar invitation inbox on their assistant's phone (which is to say, the Senior Executive's Calendar, which is a secondary calendar at this point) but it does show up properly on their Calendar. It seems the cache doesn't know that the request has been handled and does not clear the flag.
Other than turning off the Calendar, deleting the ActiveSync data and downloading fresh data, is there a way to correct this? I have tried multiple switches and settings, notifications, etc. I have even dabbled in Outlook's Rules, since this is where the delegation occurs. Once a Meeting is accepted, how can it be cleared in the inbox? This is not a badge, as I've turned off badges.
It affects not only the iPhone 4 and 5, but also iPads and iPad Minis running iOS 6.0.1 or better.

I have similar issue. Sharing calendars in the house hold and when I did it lit up my calendars inbox with 21 messages and no way to clear them. Hope this is fixed in the next iOS release.

Calendar invites from Outlook(pc) come as .ics, can't be deleted & are 3 hrs earlier than the meeting time!

Please help! This is so crazy complicated. I believe the problem is either 1) a faulty phone, or 2) a bug in iOS5 for outlook calendar if you aren’t on an exchange server (please someone tell me iOS6 will fix it!).
I bought my nanny an iPhone. She does not have a mac and she does not sync to a pc. She just uses the phone. She does not have an exchange server – she is just AT&T with an optimum online email account. I use a pc and Outlook 2003 (yes, I know it’s old, waiting to buy a new laptop and upgrade at once). I manage my children’s very busy schedule on this calendar and I invite my nanny and my husband to most appointments. I am on an exchange server for this calendar (my personal). I also use an iPhone and iPad and have servers hosting my email accounts.
When I invite my nanny to appointments on my outlook 2003 pc calendar she receives an .ics file instead of a nice looking appointment with the name of the appointment. If I invite myself at work (also on a server, PC and on my iPad and iPhone) or my husband (uses an iPhone 4S), neither of us get .ics – we get a normal calendar meeting. We can open and accept and delete, etc. Since we are both on exchange servers (not the same ones) I think this must be the first problem – why she gets .ics and we don’t. When she opens the meeting she can ONLY accept. There are no options for Maybe or Decline. When she accepts – get this – it adds the meeting THREE hours earlier than the actual time! Yes, we’ve checked her time zone settings. I have also restored the phone. It doesn’t help. She also can’t decline the meeting ever. It’s stuck on her phone. When I delete the meeting, it doesn’t delete from her account. She now has a test that we added as a recurring appointment on Sunday morning that will be there forever!
THEN I tested a few other things. I invited her NOT by sending the meeting directly from my outlook and PC but by opening the meeting once added on my iPhone and on my iPad and inviting her. When I do that, they get added at the CORRECT time BUT she still has no option to decline and she can never delete these either. When I delete from my PC, my iPhone and my iPad – they all stay on her iPhone.
NEXT… I tried sending her a meeting from my work PC which is the newest version – Outlook 2010. Same thing, came in as .ics, no ability to decline BUT… the time added correctly! This is from an exchange server.
I’ve read about other people having this issue but they have one appointment out there that they can’t delete. This is 20 a week I’m sending her… and the time zone changing – that’s just crazy. I haven’t found anyone with that issue. Could we really be the only people out there that use a lot of meeting invitations – Outlook to iPhone and they don’t know it’s a bug? Or do I have some funky setup on her phone? If I add her to my server will that fix it? Or does she just have a faulty phone? Please help!

Calendar Invites from Outlook PC not syncing to iCloud calendar

I am using iCloud on my iPhone 5 and with Outlook on my PC. When my husband sends me an appointment invitation from his Outlook (PC, no iCould), I receive an email via Outlook on my PC and click accept. However, the appointment does not show up on my calendar. When I accept from iPhone it works but takes a lot of click thrus. Can anyone help me on this?

Guys, I did a bit of research with my other iPhone/Exchange - buddies and this is what we found out:
1. Friend sends me an calendar event from his PC / Exchange Account
2. Calendar event displays as tentative on both my iPhone and on my PC / Exchange Account
3. I accept the calendar event on my PC / Exchange Account
4. Calendar event turns to "busy" on my PC / Exchange Account
5. Calendar event disappears from my iPhone
6. I double-click the event on my PC / Exchange Account and click "Accept" again
7. Calendar event reappears on my iPhone
Funny enough, this does not happen with all events - it seems to depend on the Exchange server and/or Outlook version in use. For those affected: Is your Exchange Server 2003 or 2007, and what version is the Exchange Server of the person who sent you the event in the first place?

I cannot get ics calendar invites from Outlook to display the correct time in iCal even though the correct time is in the description. This seems to be a common problem but I cannot find an answer. Please help.

How do i automatically import ics calendar invitations from email into apple calendar?

how do i automatically import ics calendar invitations (sent from Windows computer - Outlook) from email into apple calendar?

From Calendar Help. The only two ways listed are using the Import command or a drag and drop.
Import events into a calendar
If you want, create a new calendar for the events.Add or delete a calendar
Choose File > Import > Import.
Locate and select the calendar file that contains the events, and then click Import.
Choose the calendar you created or another calendar to add the events to.
You can also drag a .ics file to Calendar. The events in the file are added to the calendar that’s highlighted in the Calendar list.
You might be able to set up and Automator action to do it for you.

Calendar invites to Outllook users

Problem: When I send a Mac calendar invite to a Windows Outlook recipient, the interface is confusing and problematic.
Question: Is there any way to customise the main body or disable the iCloud content?
Description: In the main body, there is an "iCloud" invitation and some buttons to Accept, Decline, etc. Typically, if a Windows users clicks these, they are redirected to iCloud which is BLOCKED for security reasons (outside our control). [We can't force all Windows IT departments to change this.]
However, if you look VERY CAREFULLY, you can see an iCal-YEARMMDD-NNNN.ics attachment below the Subject line. If the Outlook user opens this, then they can accept the invite without access to iCloud.
Unfortunately, most Windows Outlook users are not aware of this, and the iCloud invite in the main body confuses them.
What can be done that does not require a change on the recipient's side?

How do I choose which email address to send a calendar invite from?

I use iCalendar for business. I don't want to send company calendar invites with my personal @.mac account. Years ago I had a Bberry and could choose which email address to send it from while creating a meeting in the calendar. Is this not possible with Apple Technology?

Open Mail app. Click where it says mail on the upper left corner of the screen, choose preferences choose accounts tab on the top then select the account you don't want anymore and click the - button at the bottom.
