Cannot send iCal invite

I tried to send an iCal invite but got an error message that said I need to create an address card for myself in OS X Address Book. However I already have an address card for "myself." How do I "tell" iCal that "I" already have an address card? There are no instructions for this.
Thanks!

If you don't have your "me" contact darkened, in Address Book, select the contact you want to be "you", select the "Contact" menu, then select "Make This My Card"
That should do you.

    Greetings,
    Questions:
    What happens when you put in an email address in an event? (Make sure the email address is also in your addressbook (Macintosh HD > Applications > Addressbook)
    Are you using calendars that show up under "On My Mac" on the left hand side of iCal or are the calendars under a different heading?
    Troubleshooting:
    Make sure that you can send / receive email in the Apple Mail program.
    Make sure that the email address in Mail > Preferences > Accounts is also on your Addressbook card:Go to Addressbook > Card > Go to My Card -- The email address you are using to send receive messages on your computer should be on this card.
    If that doesn't take care of it:
    1. First make an iCal backup:  Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
    2. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
    3. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
    4. Launch iCal and test.
    If the issue persists:
    1. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
    2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
    --- NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
    3. Launch iCal and test.
    Hope that helps!

  • Why I can't send ical invitation

    I am using iMac .When I send ical invitation, it shows a message that I need to open an account in Address Book.I already added my contact details in address book.why?what is the solution

    Ni Shameer,
    In addition to the suggestions by MadisonP, open Address Book, find your card and make sure that you choose Card>Make This My Card.
    If that is unsuccessful, delete and recreate your card, making sure to once again choose "Make This My Card."

  • Why is iCloud sending iCal invitations in German?

    I am running Lion set to English and iCal set to English. iCloud is configured for English.
    Why is iCloud sending iCal invitations in German???

    I think I solved it. My Macbook was set to delete items after 60 days.  Grrrrr....

  • Problems sending ical invites to gmail addresses?

    Problems sending iCal invites to people with gmail. Is there a fix?
    Many of the people I invite who have gmail, never get the invite even though they have an iPhone.

    Has she looked in her junk folders? Has she made sure your address is in her contacts in Hotmail? Has she made sure your address is not blocked in Hotmail? The problem is obviously on her end as your emails are not getting through to her Hotmail account. Good luck.

  • Calendar: another iCloud-User cannot send me invitations to meetings.

    Since a few weeks my friend cannot send me invitations to appointments. Both, the email adress of the sender and email adress of the recipient, are provided by iCloud. Additionally the calendar of my friend cannot be shared with me - surpricingly I am able to share my calendar with my friend.
    Any idea how to fix that?

    Hi,
    I suppose you are working in Online Mode?
    I actually read this kb and I think it might be helpful in your case:
    Email remains in the Outbox when you use the DelegateSentItemsStyle registry value
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2703723/en-us
    This problem may occur when all the following conditions are true:
    Your Outlook profile is configured in online mode (not cached Exchange mode).
    You have the DelegateSentItemsStyle registry value set to 1.
    There is no resolution to this problem other than to either switch your profile to cached Exchange mode or set the DelegateSentItemsStyle registry value to zero (0).

  • How do I send iCal invites on OS 10.6

    How do I send iCal invites on OS 10.6

    Seems Apple is making things more difficult with every OS update. Back in the day you used to be able to organize your applications instead of having them all in one folder. You used to have a lot more freedom. More and more it is just easier to use a third party app. So I'm gonna install Thunderbird until Apple comes up with an easy way to fix the mail app. it seems that eveything in help says you just gotta reinstall the system from scratch. I would rather just use an open source product that I can put into any forlder I want without having to worry about it screwing itself up. Had similar experience with Safari now it seems like it is time to get rid of Mail.

  • 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!

  • How to send ical invites to outlook

    When I send an ical invite to outlook user, some users ok to accept and others return mail.dat file attachement?

    1. I didn't replace my [email protected] login with my [email protected] email. I only changed my email information to my [email protected] email. I still login with [email protected]
    2. The me card in both my local address book and the addressbook on iCloud only contains my [email protected] email.
    From what I've read in other threads, changing the apple id email means deleting my iCloud account and starting over with a new login email. Apple officially says that it's not possible. But others seem to have succeed with it.
    Do you know of any other solution?

  • Cant send iCal Invite to myself or alternate email address

    I've been having a challenge creating an iCal event and sending an invitation to myself. What Im trying to do is add an appointment to my calendar on my personal Mac and have an invitation sent to my work email address so I can add the appointment to my work calendar also.
    Apparently iCal will not let you send a invite to any of the email addresses in the "Me" address book entry.
    I tried adding a new address book entry for just my work email address but that did not work either.
    I had to REMOVE my work email address from the ME address book entry before the work address book entry would show up.

    Hi,
    You can turn on text messaging notification in OWA to receive message notification, but the premise is that you can logon OWA. If you don't have access to OWA, you can create a transport rule to forward the messages you received to another user's mailbox,
    and then set up his/her OWA to send text messages to your mobile device.
    Hope my clarification can be helpful to you.
    Best regards,

  • Is it possible to customise the email address used to send iCal invites?

    Hi,
    I am trying to find out if it is possible to customise the email address used by iCal to send an invite.
    i.e. each user would like their email address to be used rather than a generic one.
    Tks
    Ben

    Sorry, that isn't possible. The email address is used as the account name. If you need to change it, a new account would need to be created.

  • Send iCal Invite from Alternate Address?

    My iCal invites in Lion keep sending from my .mac address (which I never use).  I want it to send from by 'send from' address, and I've changed that info in mail and iCal -- to no avail.
    Any suggestions?

    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.

  • How to create My Card so that I can send ical invitations

    Hi,
    Am trying to send out invitations on iMac OS X and get the response that I must set up a personal card in contacts first.
    Ive done this, the advice from past support groups is to mark the card as 'My Card' however there is no option to do this.
    By the way does it matter if My Card is on iCloud or iMac address book?
    Finally, since synchronising my iPad with iMac and backing up to the iMac Ive lost the 'Invite' option on my iPad calendar.
    Any thoughts?
    Many thanks

  • Cannot put iCal invite onto my Exchange calendar

    Hi there,
    When I receive iCal invites and double-click them to open via iCal, they are always opened in my "Home" calendar under "On My Mac."  I can't move the invite to my Exchange account.  I've tried to delete all the folders "On My Mac" to no avail.  Is there anyway to automatically put invites onto my Exchange calendar?
    Thank you!
    Davy

    It was my fault, because this problem really a Kerio Mail Server faliure!
