Cannot receive calendar invites in iCal

Since upgrading to iOS 7, when my wife (who uses iCloud with an @outlook.com address) sends me a calendar invite, it comes to me (using an @icloud.com address) as an email rather than a notification to my iCal app, on any device. When I accept the event, it won't add to iCal either. Does anyone have any idea why this is?

I Used to able to accept events from outside the iCloud world and add them automatically to the calendar.
NOw nothing.

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.

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

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.

Can't receive Calendar invites (.mac or .me)

Recently, I have been unable to receive Calendar invitations at my .mac email address. Oddly, if I am invited at my .icloud address (which nobody I know knows about) I do receive the invitation. Also, if I send an invitation from Calendar to my wife's .me address, she receives it. However, if she tries to send an invite to my .me address, like my .mac address, Calendar indicates no reply or unable to send. It used to work quite well, but has become squirly, and now that only my .icloud address seems to work in Calendar, an address that nobody knows, the system has become unusable. Any ideas?

I do experience the same issue, but I would say that it is not all...
When my friends (iCloud users too) send me invites on mac.com (I told them to do so in order to make it work), and I accept these, they never receive the answers since my mail address is [email protected] and not the one they sent invites to.... that is unbelievable ! I can not use invites with other iCloud users ! Please Apple fix it as soon as possible !

E72 cannot receive meeting invitations sent from o...

I have the latest version of Nokia email installed (v 3.20) but cannot receive *.ics invitations sent from the Outlook which I could before 3.05 version.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I found a solution accidentaly! Forward the message with the meeting request. Then close the message without sending it. You can open the meeting request now

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???
Bob

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.

Why every time I receive a calendar invitation my iCal crashes?

Every time I receive a calendar invitation, even if I don't open it, iCal will automatically schedule that as an appointment. The time set up though will be shown as a grey color and I cannot make any change, or even access it. On top of it, if I try to access that day, when I am viewing my calendar as a day (day, week, month...) iCal will definatelly crash and when I try to re launch it will open but I would not be able to see that day in day view again.
To solve the problem I need to go to my iCal on my MAC and reject the invitation. Only then my calendar either in my iPhone or iPad will relaunch properly.
Such a pain.

The iphone and ipad must be connected to the same icloud account. Are you by chance using different IDs to connect from each device?

Cannot Send Event Invites From iCal

I cannot send invited from iCal.
I am running Lion version 10.8.5.
When I create a new event and try to invite others to the event their name is grayed out with a question mark next to it.
My apple ID uses a gmail email address.
I am using iCloud and syncing to Googlralso using Caldev and I have IOS devices, an iPhone & iPad and an Android phone
Any ideas anyone or is this a common problem ?

Hello. Did you ever find a solution to this issue? I'm having the same one. My wife's iCal invitations are showing up in my iCal "Inbox" but are not coming to me via email. I discovered this while troubleshooting the issue just now...and saw that I had 10+ iCal invites for which I never received email notifications.
I never proactively check iCal, so definitely need to resolve this issue, as receiving emailed invitations is the only way they're filed into my iCal. Thanks for any insight!

I don't receive calendar invites from google calendar on iphone

I use ical on my macbook as well as on my iphone. I have them both logged into the same apple account. When I receive an invite from someone using google calendars I receive this invite via email as well as a notification on the macbook ical. I don't receive this on the iphone ical. Even if I accept and it is showing up as an event on my macbook ical, it still does not show up on the iphone ical. This is when it is sent to a specific email address which is not my primary icloud email address, but it is listed as one of the email addresses for my icloud account. Any suggestions?

I should note that this is happening when someone sends me an invite from google calendar to a yahoo business hosted email account.

I can't receive calendar invites but I can send them?

I can send calendar invites but I can't receive them? I don't have an icloud email only my yahoo account. I've checked to make sure only that email address is linked to my Itunes account....I've checked my settings agaisnt my husbands phone and they are the same?
Anyone know whats happening or how to resolve?
Many thanks in advance

The calendar will remain on the server and should be restored when you add back the account. Regardless of that, you can back up a calendar by exporting it:
Calendar: Export and import calendars

Can't receive calendar request from ical (MAC) in MS Outlook 2010

We have local calendar in outlook and ical from MAC users. Now i am not able to receive calendar/meeting request in outlook 2010 from ical (MAC) users, nor they are able to receive my calendar/meeting request.

What's your account type in your Outlook? Does the issue only happen to meeting request? How about sending or receiveing emails?
Please check whether the meeting request can be send and receive in Webmail. Also check whether you can send/receive meeting request from Windows users.

I cannot get calendar invites in my IOS inbox.

I recieve calendar invites in my yahoo email inbox. From there I am able to add the invite to my ios calendar and accept. The problem begins when the appointment is updated. I cannot move the appointment on my calendar. Even if i delete the old appointment and try to add the new appointment, like i did originally, it doesnt work. I use the calendar for work and the 3 people who send me the invites are all on ios as well. Does anyone out there have a solution?

Receiving calendar invites?

When someone sends me a calendar invite I get an email with the event attachment on it. Is there a way to make all invites appear in the iphone calendar inbox instead? As currently my calendar inbox is redundant, this currently means I get no notifications of invites, they just sit in my gmail inbox with all the other rubbish I get sent.
Thanks

I am also having this issue. Even if I send to my @icloud.com apple id it goes to mail inbox as attachment not calendar inbox. Already enabled calendar and new invitation alerts...it did not repair the situation.
It would be great to not have to "click" three times to get a calendar invite on my calendar especially since Apple seemed to have gone through the trouble of building a calendar inbox feature.
click to open mail app
click to open email
click to open ics attachment
click to add to calendar
click to confirm which calendar
presumeably calendar inbox would eliminate the 2nd and 3rd click.

Calendar Invitations Using iCal Synced with Google Calendar via Exchange

I have a very complicated system set up for syncing multiple calendars. I use CompanionLink to sync my work Lotus Notes calendar to iCal. I then sync my Google Calendar and my husband's Google Calendar to iCal via Exchange. I've recently added the iCal step as a way to get push notifications. That's the only reason I've gone to iCal as I have CalenGoo on my iPhone and it's been working great up to now. However, the only notifications it can do are through email. I have 2 questions.
First - using the iCal program on the iPhone, I tried to invite attendees for a meeting. No invitations were sent. Is there something that has to be set up to make this happen? Also, is it supposed to be sending them through Google or through my own email (mobileme is the primary email account on this phone)?
Second - Is it possible to mark events as Private or Public? I don't want personal events to show up in my work calendar so that others can view them.
Thanks!

I am having the exact same problem with my ipad 2. Hope someone can help....
