Can't accept .ics invitations in iCal

Hi,
Since I moved to iCloud I have a problem with accepting .ics invitations, which I receive as attachments in Mail. Double clicking a "Mail Attachment.ics" file in Mail adds it to iCal, which after a moment responds with the following dialog: "https://p-02.caldav.icloud.com:443/102203399/principal/ is not a location that supports this request." Two buttons: "Go Offline" or "Revert to Server"
Clicking either puts the invite into the calendar, but not up to iCloud. Taking iCal offline and then back will trigger a sync ("updating…" shows in iCal title bar) but event will still not show on iPhone or on iCloud.com
After approx. 15 minutes the invitation disappears from iCal on the iMac - which brings the desktop calendar into sync with iCloud but without the invitation I tried to accept....
This behaviour has been consistent since I moved to iCloud, for every .ics invitation I have received....
Is there a resolution for this issue?
BR, Ivo

I have the same issue...

Add alarms to accepted ics invites in iCal?

I found several discussions regarding editing .ics invitations in iCal but all were several years old. Here's hoping that there is something more recent.
Most of the time, I simply want to add an alarm to the invited event. I cannot: drag the event to the desktop, as suggested in one answer, because "only the organizer can edit this event"; duplicate the event without sending notifications to everyone else invited; and of course, there is no 'edit' button available.
Is there any solution out there that is quicker and simpler than creating a dummy event for just adding a separate alarm?

Hi John,
I never expected to get the developer on here!
Here's how I've got it set up...
General tab
I've got the Sync Address Book dates to iCal checked.
For Birthday events and Anniversary events I've got the text "Birthdays and Anniversaries" so that they both go into the same calendar.
I've left only sync for group blank as I want it for all.
Titles tab
For both Birthday and Anniversary I've got the the same fields, set to...
First name | Last name | : | type | age
Alarms tab
In this tab I've got
Email: 5 days before at 08:00 ticked for Birthdays and Anniversaries
Message: 4 days before at 10:00 ticked for Birthdays and Anniversaries
I've got no other alarms set.
I've got the email set to my personal email address.
The path for the alarms to my Home folder
Sound for alarms as Basso
When I then close Dates 2 iCal it creates the events in iCal, but not the alarms.
One further query, I've just done a reinstall of my system and since reinstalling Dates 2 iCal the Buy/Register button is greyed out, so I'm unable to reregister it, I purchased it a good while back as I've found it a really useful tool.
Many thanks
Steve

Accepting .ics invitations

Does anyone know how to accept .ics invitations in iCal?

Hi everyone,
This is an older thread but I am still having the same problem.
I am using Lion with latest updates and iPhone 4 with latest updates.
We use Google Apps mail for our work email server. I have MAIL 100% working with my email address, and iCal is also synched with my Google Calendar on my MBA and iPhone.
I am one of the few people at my office that uses a Mac, and most use OUTLOOK.
Whenever I get a meeting invite, it shows up in MAIL as an attachment. I double click on it and it auto-adds to the right iCal Calendar, however it gives me no option to accept the meeting.
I have attached photos for how the meeting shows up in my iCal (as you can see, my name still has a question mark and no forms of clicking it allow me to ACCEPT/DECLINE etc.). I have also attached photos from the iPhone (shows the meetings show up, but only in grey-dashed-format)
Hopefully someone can help/advise!
Thanks!

Can't accept BBM invitations and Invites sent show as "Pending for Authorization" but recipients are not receiving them either (PIN Message Status : Service Blocked)

I recenly changed device from BB Curve 8530 to BB Bold 9900 and ever since then can't accept BBM invitations and Invites sent shows only as "Pending for Authorization" but recipients are not receiving them either. Tried sending PIN messages but I got a red x next to the message and the status says: "Service Blocked" .
When my phone got lost, I was lucky that I just synchronized my device to my BB Desktop. Not only was I able to retrieve my contacts (phonebooks and BBM) but also ALL txt msgs and even call logs
Anway, that happening, I assumed I don't need to re-send all my BBM friends invites since some were able to communicate with me. But for those who have deleted my profile (knowing it got lost) and were still on my contact were the ones affected. I tried deleting them and sent an invite only to find out that: I can't accept BBM invitations and Invites sent shows as "Pending for Authorization" but recipients are not receiving any. (they also have the same pending for authorization notice on their end)
When I tried to send them a PIN message I get a red x next to the message nd get the service blocked message.
Help I do not know what else to do.
** FYI: new contacts added with my new PIN have no prob sending invites and me accepting them all.

Hello Lhea,
This issue is most likely Caused by the BlackBerry not being provisioned for BlackBerry Data Services.
Please have a look at the following article that covers "Service Blocked" when sending a PIN message:

I hope this helps.

Why can't I accept mail invites in iCal sent to Mail?

Ok I'm sure there is an easy answer...this is driving me batty...
I get lots of iCal invites that are sent to my email address.
When I open iCal, very few of them appear in the "Notifications" area to allow me to say Maybe/Decline/Accept
The way I have to accept most of them is to:
1. go to email for the invite
2. click "Accept" (opens a new browser tab)
3. within browser tab click on "Download .ics" (Add to iCal), which opens a download window
4. in download window select "Open with... iCal"
5. asks which calendar I want to add it to (like "Home"), so I hit OK
then it adds it to my iCal
I get tons of iCal invites...is there a way just to let me just accept them from within iCal?
I don't have a Cloud subscription of anything (if that matters).
Thanks all-

same problem, driving me nuts...
i get calendar invites in mail, can be from any calendar, Ical, iCloud, Google, any... none get auto invited in to iCal/Calendar [whatever its called now]. They used to... dont now..
on Mountain Lion, everything is up to date, settings are correct [i think].
does this have anything to do with everyone elses iCloud invites problem? seems to be a general iCloud invites problem but dont know if this is linked to it.
I have to manually add the data from my invite into Calendar at the moment as a cant drag it as it makes the invite where i drag it and not thr date it should be, i cant open the ICS as it opens Entourage...
Help...

Can't accept outlook invites in iPhone calendar app

Hi everyone,
Here's my problem: I have been using my iPhone 4 for about a year now, syncing the calendar via MobileMe first and then via iCloud. All this time I haven't been able to accept calendar invites on my phone. The functionality on my phone in steps:
I receive an Outlook invite as email, open the mail, scroll to bottom, open the ICS attachment.
The attachment opens up showing organiser, invitees, time, etc. In the bottom I have a button "Add to calendar"
I press the "Add to calendar" and the event display closes, I'm back in my mail app. Apparently, when I press "add to calendar" an automated reply is sent, saying I've tentatively accepted. I have to wait until I'm at my MacBook to accept or reject the meetings.
Any ideas on how and where I could fix this? Is this a setup issue?
So, I'm using iPhone 4 with a MacBook, both about a year old. All software is updated, syncing via iCloud.

Hello Nelson,
On Lightning, to create your calendar access you need to fill an address like the following one:
http://<hostsname>:<port>/caldav/<organization>t/principals/individuals/<username>
On your browser --> http://hostaname:port/caldav
Then you need to proceed with the authentication, then after the organisation name choose
- principals
- individuals
- you should see the <username> value
- and then you will see the CalDav url you need to enter in Lightning to access your Calendar. From this point you should be able to see all the meeting created on Outlook and accept the future invitation.
Hope that answer your question
Regards
Fred

Cant accept ics invitations

Hello,
I know this question has been asked many times - but I wan't to post this again and see if I have missed something.
I am so frustrated with not being able to accept meeting invites from Outlook users when they send me a meeting invite as a .ics attachment. I thought this might be addressed when ios 5 came out - but it doesn't work.
This is such a huge issue - and I cannot get rid of my mobileme and go to gmail.
Thanks in advance.
Chris

I have the same issue...

How do I receive an e-mail or notification when someone accepted my invitation in iCal?

Hi people,
I have had this problem for a while now and I can't seem to find a solution.
When I invite people to an event in iCal, the invitation is e-mailed without a problem to the invited people. If they accept, I can watch this on both my iPhone and in iCal. Nevertheless I never receive any e-mail or notification when someone accepts.
Is it possible to receive an e-mail or quick notification on my iPhone about that?
Thank you!
Michaël Duwyn

>If they could actually save the filled in document that would be just as good because they could attach it to an e-mail
In Acrobat Pro, open the form and go to the Advanced menu and choose enable usage rights for Reader users.
Now, they will be able to fill out the form and save it to send it back to you in an email.
Be aware that there is a 500 use per form limit so this isn't a good answer for high volume use forms.

Trying to set up family share and the invitation does not show the accept decline option so we can't accept the invitation. Anyone know how to fix?

invitation to family share does not have the accept or decline option to choose

Several things here so let me attempt to clarify.
For iCloud the reason the contacts where removed from he other device is because you updated your contacts, in this case deleted them, and then iCloud updated the other device to match. By deleting the iCloud account on the device it will stop the device from using that iCloud account and therefore nothing will change on the other device. By using a seperate Apple ID you can still use the features of iCloud, Find My iPhone comes to mind, without your content (contacts, message etc.) merging with the other device
For iTunes, you cannot use two Apple IDs for one account however if you use the same account iTunes on your computer will keep the content on each device seperate very nicely. You can also configure the settings for iTunes and the App store on each device to keep the content from automatically downloading to the other device. What I meant by share apps and music is this. What happens if you find a game, lets say Minecraft, that you really like and it cost, as Mincraft cost, $6.99USD. You buy it and play for a while and then you realize that your husband really likes the game as well. If you both use the same Apple ID for iTunes he can download the $7.00ish game to his device at no additional charge. If you use seperate Apple IDs for iTunes well... it look like he will also be paying for the game to have it on his account. Same goes for Music and Movies
I hope that clears things up. Let me know if you have anymore question.

Cannot accept Calendar Invitations in ical Caldav calendar

Hi,
I have a SL server with Ical2 server. In my client I set up the caldav calendar (not subscribe). When I get a mail with invitation, and I click twice the invite doesn't appear in my caldav calendar, but if I drag it, It works good, but I cannot accept, decline the invitation. When I press accept It doesn't send any respones to the sender. What is the problem?
thx

I have this issue too. It seems that this may be a limitation of iCal or iCal Server

Can't Accept Meeting invitations

When I receive meeting invitations from Outlook, I cannot accept them. The message has the standard header and then all of the meeting details in the body. According to the handbook, I should only have to push in on the wheel and select Accept. When I push the wheel, only the standard options appear in the menu bar. I would like to accept a meeting and have it automatically added to my calender on the BlackBerry.
I use Outlook in conjunction with my BlackBerry to handle my calender and contacts. I use Outlook for email.I am using google apps email service

I have the same problem.

Can't Accept Meeting Invitations from Outlook 2003

I may be beating a dead horse here, but I just got the new iPhone 3GS, former Blackberry user. We do not use Outlook Exchange Server, but we do use just the stand alone Outlook 2003 application for calendars. I used to be able to open and respond to meeting invitations on my Blackberry, but have found that I can't open the meeting invitation on the new iPhone. From what I have read so far, it seems that this may not be currently supported by the iPhone. Can someone confirm this for me? If this is true, is there some work around by switching to using Google Calendar or Mobileme or something for Calendars??

I'm a former Palm Treo user for years, syncing with Palm desktop on my PC, and have several thousand appointments with notes on my Palm, as well as over 1000 contacts. I just switched to the i-phone 3GS, moved all my data from the palm over to Outlook 2003, synced after much heartache and difficulty, then moved all this data to the i-phone via i-tunes. As a first time user, the usefulness of the built-in calendar app. is weak, and when you have multiple overlapping appointments, it's very difficult to see these appointments in an easy visual field. In addition, there's no way to search for any content within the appointments other than by the particular day. Nor can you see the year view on the calendar.
Does any former Palm of Blackberry business user have another Calendar application suggestion for the 3GS or 3G that will sync with Outlook 2003, or better yet with Mobile Me? If you move to a different app for calendar, syncing with multiple machines or Mobile me is a problem, from what Apple tech support tells me.
Thanks.

Outlook Users Can't Accept iCal event invites

Microsoft Outlook users can't accept my event invites from iCal.
I already searched through all the possible prefs and settings... at least I think I have.
Can anyone help?
THX!
A.Che

To clarify this issue - (as I am having a similar issue)...
From iCal I can easily accept and respond to meeting requests sent to me from a person using Outlook 2003
The problem is the other way round - My meeting requests from iCal do not seem to be accepted by Outlook. I am generating an email that has a *.ics file extension and it is being sent via mail, but when the recipient (using Outlook 2003) receives the email, it is formatted as plain text and does not have a file attachment.
When that person forwards the message back to me, it DOES have the attachment still attached (which I can open on my own PC).
What is the trick to sending an iCal meeting request to an Outlook user so that they can add it to their calendar (and respond to the request)?? Apparently they receive a plain text email with an attachment that is named "Untitled Attachment" which is then empty (~200 bytes)
Here is a picture of what I am talking about (that they receive in Outlook):

ICal - incoming Mail ICS invites go to wrong calendar - or go to no calendar

My default calendar invites coming in on email (most often through Lotus Notes or Outlook) aren't going to the correct calendar, even though I have my defaults set up. I've reviewed some threads on this and there appears to be no easy resolution: it sounds like an ICS invite will go to the FIRST calendar in your calendar list, not the "default" (only invitations created manually seem to go there). Since I have one "on my Mac" calendar , which always appears above iCloud, incoming mail ICS invites always go there. On Yosemite.. My scenario is:
1) I have one "on my Mac" calendar that I use because there are many reminders I only really need when at the home iMac; otherwise my phone is popping up annoying reminders when my Mac is already doing that (and if Apple had more "sleep" options I wouldn't even have to do this!).
2) In Mail, default calendar is "Work" (in iCloud).
3) Creating new invitations from iCal work fine: they go to "Work" calendar.
4) Any invitations auto-accepted by Mail, however, go to the On My Mac. Thus the suggestion of ordering the calendars won't work unless I can get "on my Mac" below the set of iCal calendars, which doesn't seem possible.
So if there's a way to move "on my Mac" DOWN I guess that would fix it. But really, a default calendar is a default calendar: why would incoming Mail ICS invitations not use it?? Any resolutions?
On another note, the "Auto Accept" option in mail doesn't seem to work consistently. I haven't tested this, but it may only be from Lotus Notes emails, of which I get a lot.
Thank you, Ron

anyone seen this…?

Get HTTP/1.1 409 Conflict when trying to accept invite into ical server on Lion

Greetings,
We have setup the iCal server on our lion servers and we just got an invite from a client and this is the error we get when trying to accept the invite. {HTTP/1.1 409 Conflict} I think the invite came from an Outlook system but it is an .ics file. Is there a way to solve this issue?
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi,
can you login to InfoView?
I guess you have to manual re-deploy your WebApps using wdeploy. Please make note of your changes to the web.xml prior for re- deploying the WebApps.
