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 can send event invitations from ical but can not receive them --invites go to another family member email

I am using Lion and everything was working fine -- until I got a new mac and set the older one up for my husband and put his user account on the old mac.
Now I can send ical invitations out and can get replies -- but if someone else originiates an invitation to me -- I don't get the invite on my new mac. My husband gets it on the older mac I set up for him in his Ical. We have totally different emails and when I click on the email name in the invite it is addressed to me and my email address but it comes on my husband's ical.
I can't figure it out???
If I originate the event invite I have no problem getting the replies -- but when someone else originates the invite -- it comes on my husband's ical (with my name and email address)
Please help -- this is driving me crazy!!

Why do Caldav calendars sending event invites from the wrong email address.

I have iCloud enabled calendars alongside a caldav based account (Mac OS X Server) within iCal. When I create events with attendees attached, from the caldav based account, the invites are always sent from the iCloud based email account (a former .mac email address). This does not seem consistent with the way calendar invites used to work prior to the Mobile Me to iCloud changeover. It is a privacy issue, that attendess become exposed to an email address that I do not want associated with that calendar's activity.
From my searching, this appears to be a problem and has existed in various forms throughout many versions of OS X. There seems to be no way within Lion to define the default email address used by a calendar.
Previous solutions involved an entanglement of Mail's default account and Address Book email address entries. I've called Apple, and there advanced applications support team don't know how to solve this. Does anyone know?

did you ever fix this . This is exactly what ios happening to me now. Help
I see this msg is from year and half ago...oh we;;

Not receiving email notifications of iCal event invitations from other parties.

I am not receiving emails for iCal event invitations from other parties, but the invitations ARE in my iCal Inbox. I don't use iCal often, so I never proactively go in to check my Inbox there, but rather have always depended on receiving the email notification of an event invite to know to add it to my iCal. I can SEND invitations to others successfully with other parties receiving MY email notifications, I'm just not receiving them via email.
I've now missed two very important meetings because I never received the email invitations to add an event, which were the only forms of correspondence for both. Can anyone help me? Thank you!

Issues sending invites from Ical to Outlook

When i send an Invite via Ical to my colleagues (using Outlook) they receive a mail with the ICS file with the correct time proposal, but in the title of the message there is a different time menitioned (1 hour difference). What setting should i change? We are all acting in the same time-zone.

I had to send the invitation on a floating time zone to solve that problem

Send calendar invitation from mail

I've gone back to Mail from Outlook since "upgrading" to Lion in order to get around a bunch of problems. Is there any way to take a message in Mail and "forward" that message to the people in the "to" and "copy" lists as a calendar or meeting invitation? Yes, you can copy/paste the eMail addresses but this frequently involves a bunch of editing as the addresses do not come over without extra annotation.

Hello all,
I sync Gmail account with iCal on my Mac, and with my iPhone and iPad. I can see all of my events on all of my devices without a problem, and can send calendar invites on everything but my iPad. Is there a way to add an event invitation option to my iPad's calendar application?
AFAIK MobileMe is the only way to send event invites. If you have a MobileMe mail account then a new 'feature' of iPad Calendar is activated which allows sending invites.
I don't know of any other way to do it.

Cannot send an email from my alias Mobile Me account from the iPhone.

I have a Mobile Me email account which works perfectly on my Mac and iPhone. I created a an Alias Mobile Me Account on the web.
I am able to create a new email from the alias account on the Mac.
The iPhone will not recognize the alias account, I cannot add it or sync the account.
I cannot send an email from my alias Mobile Me account from the iPhone.

To all frustrated MobileMe alias owners who want to send email from iPhone - please go to the feedback area of the apple.com and leave messages regarding this issue. I had a lengthy conversation with a tech support guy who agreed that this is a needed fix - he said to initiate a grass roots effort - and that by all of us leaving messages it will eventually get attention and fixed. Why would Apple give us the ability to create alias's, use them on mobileme website, on our mac mail programs, but NOT the iPhone, which is the MOBILE device. Silly. Please protest!! Thanks.

I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great

The fact that you can receive means you have a valid e mail address, and have established the connection to the incoming server, so all of that works. Since the send does not work, that means your outgoing server is rejecting whatever settings you used formthe outgoing set up. Try them again.
Google your particular isp, and ipad and many times you will find the exact settings needed for your isp. Or tell us here, and soneone else may be on the same isp. Some mail services need you to change a port, or have a unique name for the outgoing server.
Kep trying.
