Calendar invites - none iCloud users left out?

I have been using Google Calendar for a long time, using the ability to invite none Google Calendar users to some of my events. These users are able to accept or decline my invites, so given that iCloud is a competitor to Google, I would assume that iCloud was able to do the same. It won't!
When sending invites to none iCloud users, they are given the opportunity to accept or decline the invite, but doing so sends them to an iCloud page "not found".
Is this just one of many bugs or will Apple not allow none iCloud users to accept/decline an invitation?

I've been taking a closer look. If an invitee clicks on one of the buttons in the invitation mail, it opens a web page with a URL something like:
https://www.icloud.com/calendar/eventreply/nl-nl/?<verylongeventid>#reply=accept
I got some invitation responses though while testing, but all from people abroad (I'm in the Netherlands). I figured it might be just the Dutch version of the response page. So I changed the 'nl-nl' part of the URL into 'en-us' and reloaded the page. Voila! Loads flawlessly.
So it seems there's something wrong with the Dutch version of the page (or the script behind it). Might be the case with other languages too. I've thrown my findings into the feedback form at http://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html. Let's hope they'll pick it up...

Sharing icloud calendars with non icloud users

Anyone have a suggestion on how to share my ical icloud calendars with non-icloud users?
Can't seem to share with MobileMe - and Tungle.com doesn't support it either. What about google calendars? Would that be a good work around or end up duplicating entries somehow if they're all synced.
Please advise.

Ok Apple... I was sooooo excited about moving my whole team to iCloud, I've already got us setup and our upcoming events are being entered as I write. Then.... I discovered.... The fatal flaw....
While most of my people are apple users, I still have an employee that isn't and isn't ever going to be. No big deal right, they should just get read only access while the "in crowd" gets the cool toys. Except....
See screenshot below, I can EITHER publish read-only to a url OR share through iCloud... NOT BOTH. So in order for my one non-apple employee to see the calender, I have to give up the ability for all the others to make changes... making this calendar service just as ineffective as the one I was trying to replace!
This would be such an easy thing to fix, but I suspect it was a conscious decision to incentivize more people to switch to all apple. Yet I just can't get everybody to do that, I can't force an employee to buy an iPhone and I sure ain't gonna pay for it. So I'm stuck. Next stop... Google Calendar.

How can I share my calendars (presently on shared on iCloud) with the public (non iCloud users)?

I have just upgraded to 10.9 OS and shared my calendars with iCloud. I would like to make them public and get a url that so non iCloud users can see them. When I click on the "public" calendar checkbox and email the link I am given, I try to test it and it is not an "https://" address, but a "webcal://" which just reopens iCal and asks me if I want to subscribe.
Please let me know what I can do to get this to work.
I am hoping that iCal has not changed and is no longer available for public sharing.

Hi Norm,
I sent this invite to my gmail account as a test, both as a public shared view only and editable calendar and received the same message in both cases. As you can see the email states that I need to be an icloud member.
What is the next step to fix this?

TS3999 icloud and non icloud users can't see invitations

I am using icloud and have turned off all of the ON MY MAC calendars as that was causing duplicates and a host of syncing issues when I did not select the right calendar.
It seems that when a non icloud user sends me an invite (mac user) that they do not appear, even as an email. Vice versa is also happening when I send a calendar invite to a non icloud user, they do not see my invitation.
What's the solution.

IOS sends Calendar invites via icloud to known icloud users

I am having a lot of difficulty with our company phones and tablets with regard to calendar invites. Users are complaining that they are not getting calendar invites from other users, and when they do they don't end up on their exchange calendar. I believe this is the issue:
1. iPhone user creates a calendar invitation to their default calendar (which is an exchange calendar) via their iOS device
2. The email addresses they specifiy match with Apple somehow as account email with iCloud
3. The invitation is sent via iCloud somehow to users that Apple has matched as having an email matching their iCloud account calendar email
This presents multiple problems: If a user isn't subscribed to their iCloud calendar on one of their devices (say it's on for a tablet and not their phone) they will never receive the invitation. More of a problem is that when the calendar invite is sent (by apple's servers apparently) in that manner, it will come into their iOS device on their device's consolidated calendar (calendar overlay of numerous calendars) but can never of course be sync'd to their exchange calendar which is used on their desktop/laptop.
I'm hoping I'm missing something here as it's a disaster in a corporate environment; it isn't an issue where they can simply use an alternate email address to send the invitation as the majority of users have configured icloud (specifically for icloud backup ONLY, they don't give a darn about the iCloud calendar) with their company email addresses. This results in calendar invites that are accepted from a user's iOS device from never showing up on their exchange calendar.
The preference would be to either be able to configure a device never to send invitation in that way, OR to configure a receiving device to only accept emailed calendar invitations/configure iCloud not to match and send invites to their iCloud calendar but instead to always deliver to the associated email address. I'm not sure if this is solvable, I've got to believe with how widely deployed iOS is and the fact that for companies of any size Microsoft Exchange is the de facto standard...there must be a workaround.
Suggestions?

You are not missing anything, you are referring to integration of Apple product - icloud and Microsoft product - exchange. They do not integrate, were never intended to do so by either of the companies - as far as I know.

Share calendars with other iCloud users

How do I share my calendars with other iCloud users? I can't figure it out on the icloud website.

You need to click on the sharing icon to the right of the calendar name in the top left corner of the calendar window at iCloud.com. But you need to do this from a computer.

Sharing i cloud calendar with non apple users

Hi. I want to share my icloud calendar with non apple users. I went into i cloud settings clicked the calendars I wanted to share and sent the invites. All good so far. However, the people I have invited can find no way to access them as they do not have i cloud accounts (which it keeps asking for) and are not apple users. help?

Are you asking about the file format for non-Apple PC's or the best way to physically share the slideshow file or are you asking about sharing with people that don;t have a computer at all?
Once you create the slide show in Aperture you will need to export it. You can pick a number of formats and uses during export. The easiest way would be to export for YouTube. Once the export is finished you can upload the file to YouTube and give all your friends and family the URL to play it.
If you want to deliver a file depending on the software they have on the PC you could use the .mov file format. This requires Quick Time to play it but there is a free Quick Time player for windows available from Apple.
If you want to create a DVD to play on a standard DVD player you will need to get a hold of DVD aurhoring software. Apple use to include the software with iLife but stopped doing that a while back. If you're looking to make a video DVD post back.

TS4002 Issues receiving calendar invites via iCloud

My girlfriend used to send me calendar invites through iCloud (@me.com of @icloud.com). But it seems that ever since I updated to iOS 6 I can't send or receive calendar invites anymore. I have tried everything and can't get it to work.
Can anyone hp me out???

No option to invite non-registered users to meetings

When creating a new meeting and selecting either option that
allows non-registered users to participate in the meeting, why is
there no option to supply a list of email addresses to send the
meeting notification to? You can select whether or not you would
like registered participants to recieve the email, so why can't you
manually specify some additional addresses? This seems like a
trivial fix that would save the extra step of having to wait for
the meeting notification to arrive and then forward that to any
additional non-registered participants.

Hi DHM:
This functionality is available in the Events Module within
Breeze if
you have purchased that module but I understand that this
doesn't
necessarily suit your purpose specifically for setting up a
quick
meeting invite and sending it out to users.
Another option you can explore, if you're using Microsoft
Outlook, is
to get the Breeze Outlook Add-in. That way, it is easy to
create a
Breeze Meeting from within Outlook and send it out to your
meeting
participants and guests directly from your company's
Microsoft Outlook
Exchange Address Book (or by typing them in).
The Microsoft Outlook Add-in is available for download here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/breeze/live.html
Regarding your feature request below, if neither of the
workarounds
above will work for you, I would recommend submitting a
feature
request here:

Hope this helps!

Publishing iCal calendars for non iCal users?

Firstly I guess I should set out the ideal solution I want to acheive.
I am looking for a way to publish calendars from iCal to my hosting server which will be viewable by PC/non iCal users via a web browser. I'd have to do it via ftp as my servers do not currently support WebDav.
Currently I have managed to publish the calendars which are viewable via a browser which appear as a list of code rather than as a calendar.
Is there a way to do this using iCal or, dare I mention, another calendar/organiser software package?
PowerMac G5 2.5Ghz Dual + G4 1.67Ghz Powerbook 1Gb RAM Mac OS X (10.4.10) 20Gb 1st Generation ipod still working well!

Hello Julian,
Thanks for this. Excellent solution and pretty straight forward to set up. Wish I'd had this years ago.
Cheers again

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 share address book and calendars with other iCloud users?

I guess the title of the discussion question says it all.
My wife, and other family members want to SHARE Contacts, Calendars etc... with other iCloud users.
Simple task... most people would want to do it...
But... I can't find an easy answer... how do I do it?

Roger, thanks... I had continued my search and found this information on the discussion.
Now, my biggest concern is the ADDRESS BOOK... I'd like to publish, specific GROUPS within my master Address Book to other iCloud users... with either Read Only, or Read Write permisions.
Do you have any knowledge or suggestion on how that can be accomplished in iCloud?
It seems as though this would be FOUNDATIONAL in iCloud if APPLE expects it to be a USABLE SERVICE.
Thanks for your help...

Can I share an Exchange account Calendar with another icloud user?

How do I get my work calendar onto the my iCloud accout, and how do I share it with another iCloud user?
he exchange calendar is currently on my iphone calendar, but I can't find a way to see it on my iCloud.

iCloud only syncs your iCloud calendar. It won't sync your exchange calendar.

My attachments are being renamed when I send them to non iCloud users. Any help would be appreciated.

Whenever I send an attachment from my iCloud email, the recipient, who is not an iCloud user, receives it renamed as "attachment" or "att..." Can this be solved somehow?

Sending calendar invites to Blackberry user

I just switched to an iPhone, from my beloved BlackBerry! I used to send meeting invites to my husband so he would know where and when kids and I woul be, and if he was required to attend or drive, etc, and other necessary information. How can I send him calendar invites with my iPhone 5?

Hey insidespin,
This feature would not be available for a POP or IMAP accounts, this feature would require an email account that uses CALDAV or Activesync.
Thanks.
