Cant open Outlook calendar invites

I receive outlook calendar invites in my me.com mailbox and unable to open and save to my iphone iCalendar. I have to wait to get home on MacBook and open via Entourage. I do not use Outlook Exchange as I am on Government restricted intranet (NMCI) so have to forward events to my personal iphone (government will only give me basic phone so I use my iPhone as it is much more useful).

I am having the same problem. I am forwarding calendar invites from my work account (Outlook) to my MobileMe account, so I can get the reminders on my iPhone - BUT, when I do that, *ics file just sits as an attachment in Mail, and I can't do anything with it unless I use my Mac.

  • Why do Outlook calendar invites appear on my iPod touch calendar but not my icloud calendar

    Why do Outlook calendar invites appear on my iPod touch calendar but not my iCloud calendar? I use Outlook at work and if I want to add events to the calendar on my iPod Touch which I use as a PDA I simply create the event in outlook select my gmail email address and invite myself. The event appears on my iPod Touch...all well and good...now with the advent of iCloud I would like to see all events on my iPod calendar on the iCloud calendar that I view on my PC. At the moment only events that I have added directly onto the iPod calendar appear on the iCloud calendar.
    I have messed around abit syncing and unsyncing, Turning the Calendar on and off in the iCloud setting on the device but nothing is really working. Any easy to follow suggestions or is it a trip to the geniuses in order?

    Not sure why you'd want to alter an artist name anyway but...
    In iTunes, right-click selected track and click "Get Info" then edit the artist field and possibly the album artist too (edit as in... make sure they have a value (the correct artist name)). Delete the faulty track on your iPod and then re-upload the new one.
    Another thing is that if you left the music player open on your iPod when you add the new track, sometimes I find that it doesnt find any of the new songs you add until you close and then re-open the app on the iPod.

  • Outlook calendar invitations showing up as .ifb files in Mail

    Up until this morning I was able to accept Outlook calendar invitations sent by clients from their PCs. They came in Mail and showed up as .ics file attachments, and would populate iCal perfectly.
    Suddenly, now all invitations are showing up as .ifb files. They open as text files and won't work with iCal. It's not the sender's problem, as she was sending invitations just this morning that seemed to work fine.
    Any suggestions?

    Use Edit > Paste Special > Text only.
    This strips away the MS Word formatting.

  • Outlook Calendar invite - Not able to send from exchange server.

    Hi,

    Help me to send calendar invite without installing outlook on the specified server. Please do the needful.

    Hi
    It is probably that the stuff you doing is for outlook and because outlook is not installed it cannot find the classes.
    Hope this helps. Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you, and to click “Unmark as Answer” if a marked post does not actually answer your question. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread.

  • My Iphone 4s can't open outlook meeting invitations

    My Iphone 4s can't open Outlook meeting invitations or Outlook Business Contact Cards. How can I change this or do i need to download an app to support this?  Please Help!!

    My first thought is that this sounds like a memory issue...you may have already treid it, but as a first step, I'd do a double tap on the home button and check ( and stop if necessary) all of the running processes......

  • Outlook calendar invitations in Yosemite Mail

    I know that there is an answer for this somewhere out there, but scouring the discussion boards and web I can't seem to find it.
    I am using the stable version of Yosemite and have updated all my apps to date. For some reason, I can no longer add outlook calendar invitations to Mac calendar via the Mac Mail app! When I hit the "accept" button, the person who sent the invitation gets an email back saying that I accepted (most of the time!, the calendar event is NOT added to my calendar, and the invitation email is trashed! Neither the mail or calendar apps crash, but I don’t get my calendar event added! Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks so much! Mike
    When I look at the console, I see stuff like:
    11/6/14 4:22:38.421 PM Mail[531]: Could not load x-msg URL
    11/6/14 4:22:44.912 PM Mail[531]: Unexpected flag key "MessageHighlightTextInTOC"in flagsBySettingValueForKey

    I have this same problem. The only difference is nothing happens when I hit accept from inside of mail.  It doesn't accept the invite in calendar, it doesn't, trash the invitation, it just does nothing.  I have the most up to date version of Yosemite.

  • Receiving outlook calendar invites

    I receive outlook diary invitations from an exchange and they now come as winmail.dat files and I can't add them to ical... In fact I cant do anything with them. Help please.

    I do not believe the article referenced (see below) is correct. 
    Mac OS X Mail: What is a winmail.dat attachment?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2614
    It says to "ignore" winmail.dat files, or to call the sender and ask them to change their settings. 
    Most users in an exchange setting have no capability to change their settings: their employer will not allow it.  And even if they could, it is not appropriate to ask.  I have tried and it does not work. 
    Apple needs to find a way to translate these files.  I use a freeware program called TNEF for word and excel files, but for calendar invitation responses (where the recipient either accepts or rejects the calendar invitation),  I cannot process a calendar notice that comes in a winmail.dat format, meaning that I then have to track acceptance and rejection manually. 
    TNEF can show me the message's content, but does not give me an executable file that causes my calendar to identify and accept the response. 
    This just feels like Apple continuing its fight with Microsoft, and refusing to cooperate.

  • Is there a way to send mass Outlook calendar invites?

    Our business is a subscription based business that has multiple service lines that hold a client only webinar each month. One of our service lines has found great success in terms of response and attendance sending out calendar invitations via Outlook.
    However, these invites can only be sent out to 20-30 email addresses at once without being marked by spam filters.
    1. Is there a way to do this in outlook or a product that allows us to do this?
    2. Is there a way to do a "mail merge" of sorts for outlook invitations?
    3. I know we are able to do a mail merge and attach an .ics file, but correct me if I'm wrong, we aren't able to verify who added that to their calendar because the sending email address won't receive an accepted or declined response. It would be
    nice to see who accepts as well because then we are able to cross reference our registration list and manually register those who may have just added the calendar request, but didn't go into the link to register for the conference--this also gives us collateral
    for sponsors.
    Any ideas would be very helpful. Thanks!

  • Outlook calendar invitations not showing in email

    I use Outlook with OSX10.9.5.
    When I receive calendar invites, they don't come up in my email, so unless I scroll through my calendar looking for them, I don't know I've been invited. I used to get emails but suddenly they've stopped.  I've gone through preferences with a fine tooth comb and can't find anything related to this.  Please help.

    Yes, all of my recurring events that do sync were created years ago in Outlook and I had no problem syncing them to my Blackberry Bold way back when. Initially when I got my iphone 4, everything synced both ways and then this year I got an iPad and intitally everything synced with it via iTunes/outlook with no problem. I've only noticed this problem within the last month or so and it drove me crazy. I reset both my ios devices but I refuse to uninstall and reinstall Outlook or iTunes. I've seen tons of posts on here that say it afffects the cloud, exchange servers and itunes so it's not just us. I've sent feedback to Apple and received no response. Others have too. Apple is aware of it and doesn't have a clue what to do about it. It now affects other events for me so I'm thinking maybe it has to do with default reminders and other things between Outlook and the ios devices. Maybe and update to iTunes or ios6 will change that, who knows. I still love my iPhone and would't go back to Blackberry; it's just way to slow for me.

  • Outlook Calendar invites show up 16 hours behind when accepted on my iphone

    I am using Ms Outlook 2003 (work email) to send calendar invites to my Gmail (personal email which I receive on my iPhone4), and attempting to accept these calendar invites on my iPhone (via the .ics attachment) so that they appear on iCal. I am however, unable to get the event to appear as the correct time. It always shows up as 16 hours behind the scheduled time, but with the correct time showing up in the "Notes" Section.
    My Outlook and computer settings are set to my local time zone. Similarly, my iPhone settings and the calendar settings are set to my local time zone.
    Would appreciate if anyone could help. Thanks!

  • Email App of Kitkat 4.4.4 Cannot Recognize Outlook Calendar Invitation

    I use the email app to connect to office's IMAP account. The email application cannot recognize calendar invitation sent from Outlook. It cannot recognize the email as calendar invitation and does not display date and place field of the invitation.
    Sony, please help update this application with above functonality.
    Thank you.

    As i understand it, you need to use Exchange ActiveSync for this. If you recieve an invitation and use Exchange ActiveSync you can see the information about the meeting and select accept, tentative, decline and new time.

  • Outlook Calendar invitation tracking issue

    Hello,
    I have a user who created a meeting.  The recepients have started to respond and some are accepted and rejected.  The weird part is that when the user tries to track the responses, only the rejected ones appear.  The accepted
    ones do not show up in teh tracking.  In the inbox you can see the accepted messages.  It seems that they are not being processed, but the rejected ones are.
    Anybody has any clue?
    Thank you,
    Demetri

    Hi,
    What’s the version of your Outlook?
    Can you see all the attenders in the attenders list, such as the screenshot below? What’s the status for the attenders who accepted the meeting request in the
    table?
    At this time, I suggest trying the following steps to see if the problem can be resolved.
    Step 1:
    =============
    Run
    Outlook /cleansniff command to open Outlook.
    Note: This command overrides the programmatic lockout that determines which of your computers (when running Outlook simultaneously) processes meeting items. The lockout
    process helps prevent duplicate reminder messages. This switch clears the lockout on the computer it is used, enabling Outlook to process meeting items.
    If the issue persists, please edit the registry key to change the idle time for Sniffer.
    Step 2:
    =================
    1. Start Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
    2. Locate the following key in the registry key:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\xxx\Outlook\Options\General]
    Note: xxx is the version number of Outlook. If you are using Outlook 2010, it is 14.0. If you are using Outlook 2007, it is 12.0. If it is
    Outlook 2003, it is 11.0.
    3. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click
    DWORD Value. Type the name of the new value as
    AutoProcessIdleTime, and then press ENTER.
    4. On the Edit menu, click
    Modify, and then type the following information:
    Value data: 10000
    Base: Decimal
    5. Click
    OK. Quit Registry Editor.
    6. Restart Outlook and check the issue again. You can create a new meeting request and check the results again.
    Hope it helps.

  • Outlook Calendar Invites

    When I receive an invite on my calendar at work it gives me the choice to accept without notifying others.  It will, however still show up on my iphone as something I need to accept.  The problem is, when I accept from my phone it sends a notification to everyone else on that particular calendar invite and I have a co-worker who does not want to see when I accept something on the calendar (apparently it completely messes her up ).   So my question is is there a setting on my phone that I can change so that when I accept the calendar invites away from work it will not send a message to her saying that I did that?

    The attachments can be viewed in the invitation but not in the actual calendar meeting.

  • Have duplicates on i phone 4s and calendar on outlook--tried to delete duplicates on outlook and they all went into delete file- afraid to sink-cant undo outlook calendar-HELP

    After syncing with I cloud-ended up with duplicates of calendar in outlook and I phone 4s-tried to manually delete outlook duplicates and was left with only recurring b day events--the deleted items are in a folder but cant seem to undo them-aftraid to sync again-HELP

    This is normal and is how Apple handles photos.
    There are NOT duplicate photos.
    Just as a song is in your itunes library and you can access that exact same song from a playlist,  all  photos synced to iphone are in the photo library and those exact same photos (NOT duplicates) can be accessed from the individual albums.
    It is working exactly as it should.

    Hello,
    the standard solutions to open Microsoft Works text files on a Mac are ( see for instance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Works ) :
    - if you have a pc, you can ask Microsoft Works to save them in .doc file ( which is a more << standard >> format ),
    - you can use a online service www.zamzar.com/ to convert them in .doc file,
    - you can use a software solution MacLinkPlus,
    - LibreOffice (or NeofficeOffice, ... ) can also open them but you will probably use some formatting.
