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

I updated my iphone to OS 5.0.1 and i can not add events to my iphone calendar- does anyone know how to fix this issue?

I updated today to the 5.0.1 and now when I try to sync to ITunes, it doesn't recognize my phone and an error message comes up saying that "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started.' What does this mean? Never mind - I found an article in the Support about this very thing! Thanks!

I'm at a loss as to what to do. Any help is appreciated. When syncing my iphone I get an message, "itunes could not sync calendars to the iphone because an error ocurred while merging data" I sync my calendar to outlook. My iphone calendar has all and the most updated information. Outlook calendar only shows my recurring events.

hi there,
i've found a great & simple solution for this problem
just open your iCloud acc on iPhone
turn off calendars (it wil ask you to keep info or not - KEEP IT!)
and turn back on (MERGE!)
now SYNC it..
and that's it
PS in my case it was contacts so the procedure is the same..

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:

My 32gb Touch was stolen but have content stored in iTunes. Can I sync all content including notes, calendar, apps, etc to the iPhone 3GS?

My 32gb iPod Touch was stolen but have content stored in iTunes.
Can I sync all content including notes, calendar, apps, etc to the iPhone 3GS 16gb?
And, will the data that was stored on the iPod Touch be recovered?! Obviously I will have to unclick some of my photos and music for example in order to fit content onto the iPhone

If you had synced the ipod to the itunes yes
connect your iphone to itunes and then under devices u'll see iphone right click and u'll see restore backup

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.

Accepting Invitations inside iPad Calendar app

I hope to see the possibility in the upcoming Firmware 4.0 to accept or decline event invitations inside the iPad calendar application. It would also be nice if the iPad could (like the Mac with Mail.app and iCal.app) automatically add an event invitations i got per mail (including .ics files) to the ipad calendar.
I've to use iCal on my Mac to accept an invitation and have to wait till mobileme syncs this info back to my ipad.
btw.: dont forget to add "iPhone OS 3.2" to the dropdown menue here in the forum.

I agree this is most needed, but also for the iPhone & iPod touch devices. They should also allow changing what day is the start of the week (instead of being stuck with Sunday). iCal actually allows you to have the week view scroll by day, so you are always looking at the next 7 days, versus some dates in the past.

Can't send meeting invites from Z10 calendar

I can't seem to send meeting invitations from my calendar. I have tried changing defaults and there is no option to select my email account as default account to use for sending invitations.

Hello ldynredd,
Thank you for your question regarding Calendar invites on your BlackBerry Z10 smartphone.
If you swipe down from the top of your Calendar and select Manage, is there an email account listed and checked within these settings?

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...

How can i get my ipad and iphone calendars to sync?

my ipad and iphone calendars used to sync fine but recently they stopped syncing. i haven't changed a thing so i don't even know how to begin fixing the problem.
everything gets backed up into icloud and connecting the ipad and iphone to my laptop for sycing hasn't resolved the issue.
my default email is a gmail account (calendar), which has been from the beginning; however, i have an icloud account on both devices, and i use the same apple id on all devices and itunes. in the past anything i would input into my gmail calendar on any computer would sync with my ipad and iphone, but no longer!! what happened????? right now all calendars are independent of one another; anything i input into my gmail calendar doesn't show on my ipad or iphone calendar or vice versa.
i have checked my ipad and iphone section by section to ensure everything is the same, and it is.
i am sooo frustrated right now somebody please help me to resolve this problem.

The first step in troubleshooting this is to determine which of your devices are not syncing with iCloud. To do this, add a new event on your iPad calendar and see if it appears on your calendar on icloud.com. Do the same thing on your iPhone and in Outlook. When you do this, which device is not syncing new events to the calendar on icloud.com?

Outlook 2007 and iPhone Calendar All-Day events not displaying correctly

I recently took the 3.1.3 update for my iphone and have since noticed that syncing all-day events from my Outlook 2007 exchange environment to the iphone is not working correctly. The all-day flag on the iphone is not being checked, thus the event shows up all over the calendar instead of just a single item at the top of the calendar. This only happens for multi-day events. Single-day, all day events show fine. Here's the tests I did:
1. Created a single day, all-day event for tomorrow June 18 in Outlook 2007. Made sure that they all-day checkbox was checked in Outlook. Waited for the sync and it shows up fine in iPhone calendar. There is a single line at the top of the "Day" view that lists the event. When you look at the event, the all-day checkbox is checked in iphone calendar.
2. Next I updated the event in Outlook to make it a multi-day, all day event. I changed the end date to be June 19. I made sure to leave the all day checkbox checked in Outlook. Once synced, the all day checkbox on the iphone is now unchecked and as a result the event takes up the whole "Day" view for both days.
Is there a solution for this? Only seen this since I updated to the 3.1.3 firmware. All events show up the right way in Outlook. It is only the iPhone calendar that shows them wrong. Thanks in advance for any help.

Same problem here.
All Day events entered in Outlook 2007 on my work machine that have ALL DAY checked and are only on that ONE Day, seem to come out fine. If however we have an all-day event that goes multiple days, then it enters it on my iphone taking up 00:00-00:00, which is very messy if you have two ALL-day envents on the same day (when tracking different personnel for example).
I have noticed the real annoying item though is that changing it on my iPhone 4 directly, that once I put in the right start and end dates, and choose ALL DAY, about 5 seconds later it actually changes the START DAY! This makes you go back to change the start day, then it changes the end day so you change that, and now finally all sorted.
This NEVER happened on my iPhone3G that I have used with Excahgne for over two years now. Only since I got my iPhone4.
PLEASE Apple, fix this!!!!

How can I add the, On My iPhone, Calendar group back to my phone?

I can not add anything to my calendar on my phone. The "On my iPhone" Calendar is gone. The only ones there are for Gmail and Cloud.

Apple won't/never does respond to any feedback.
The only way you'll get what you want is when/if Apple adds such. While they will never respond to feedback, they do read/pay attention to such.

How can I sync outlook 2003 contacts and calendars to icloud?

I know there is a tool for Outlook 2007 and later, but are there any solutions planned for Outlook 2003??
I am not on an Exchange server.

You are not alone - it took me two weeks to work out why I could no longer sync my ihpone to my PC and realised it was because Outlook 2003 is not supported. Outlook 2010 will cost me c£100 - I've already spend a fortune on my iphone and new ipad - why on earth do I have to buy a piece of software I do not need in order to be able to sync my calendar wirelessly? It is incredibly annoying. I have tried to sync Outlook 2003 with Google Calendar first - but it just hangs.
You do need new software, yours won't work, a fact that was available to you when you chose iCloud.

Can I import Outlook notes to iPhone

How can I import Notes from Microsoft Outlook 2007 into iPhone?

A workaround I use with Outlook 2003 notes to get them on my iPhone is to create a series of contacts with the name AAAxxx, where xxx is the name of each note you want to add. Then copy the content of each note into the note section of the corresponding contact and it will sync along with your contacts and put all of your "notes" together at the top of your contact list. Or you could use ZZZxxx and put them at the bottom. Kinda kludgy but it works and my notes are now on my iPhone. I assume this would work with Outlook 2007 notes as well.

How can I sync my iPad calendar app with my iPhone calendar app?

I use my iPad calendar app a lot. How can I get the info on the iPad app to sync with my iPhone (it's the same calendar app). Thanks in advance for the help.

I guess there are a few ways to do this. I make my iMac the "home" for calendar and contact info. I make sure it is current and accurate. I sync my iPhone and my iPad2 to it frequently. If I enter new calendar data on the iPhone or iPad when I get home I sync them to the iMac to be sure it is current.
We use BusyCal at home so all our Mac's are automatically synced to one another and we sync our mobile devices to the computers. So I sync my iPhone and iPad to the iMac and all of them have the same information.
We do not use Mobile Me or another other web based service for calendar syncing since we feel that give us less control and more complexity.
