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,

Send iCal alarms to other people's email addresses

other than adding other peoples email addresses to my card, is there a way to do this? I want to be able to send email reminders to client appointments that I have scheduled in iCal.
thanks,
bl

I'm sorry that I dont know how to do this, but, I am wanting exactly the same feature.. I'd like to be able to just type in an email address for who the reminder should be sent to. This way, if I want to sent to myself and a client, then I can set up two alarms, one the standard way (to my email) and another email alarm (at the same, or a different time) to a clients email address.
I'm wondering, if it can't be done as a standard iCal feature, maybe the user of Apple Script might do it? There's an option to Run Script as an alarm category. Selecting this brings up a file browser to select the script you want to run. So I wonder, does anyone know how this could be achieved using Script maybe?
Or failing that, is there an Add-on that's already been written to iCal? I can't seem to find one, and I'm guessing that because Ferd II has replied with an "I dont know how" answer, then perhaps there's no real solution... haha, I see Ferd II that you're a frequent and knowledgeable iCal poster in these forums!
Fingers crossed we find a solution...

I can no longer send iCal invitations. I have not changed any settings, passwords or email accounts. No idea what to do.

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!

Cant Send Calendar Invites

Cant Send Calendar invites ... the Button is grayed out any suggestions.

But it's not that the "send" button at the bottom is grey. The part I'm trying to use is the "invite again" feature from the drop-down menu next to each attendee, where it gives you the options of "edit attendee", "remove attendee", "open in Address Book" "invite again" and "send email".
As of my experience, it only highlights if the attendee has refused the invite. Not the most practical.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

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."

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.

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.

Hi, I never use any of these, but according to this it uses eMal, so I'd think moving the adressees to the BCC: field should do it.
Not the To: or CC: feild.

If I have forgotten my security questions and am not given the option to send them to an alternate email address because I didn't have one set up at the time, how can I get passed this point? I'm sure I'm blocked out at this time from trying.

HT4993 When I send Outlook invites to my iPhone (via email) the appointments appear 3 hours earlier? The time setting appears to be EST which is accurate so I can't figure out why the appointments don't appear in real time. Thanks for your help, Ellen

1) The best way to relocate the iTunes library folder is to move the entire iTunes folder with all subfolders to the new path, then press and hold down shift as start iTunes and keep holding until prompted to choose a library, then browse to the relocated folder and open the file iTunes Library.itl inside it.
If you've done something different then provide some more details about what is where and I should be able to help.
2) Purchases on the device should automatically transfer to a Purchased on <DeviceName> playlist, but it my depend a bit on whether automatic iCloud downloads are enabled. If there is a cloudy link then the transfer might not happen. You can use File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. In iTunes you should also check out iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
3) Backup the device, then immediately restore it. In some cases you need to add a restore as new device into that equation. Obbviously not to be attempted until you're sure all your media is in your library. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device should it be needed.
4) I believe there is complimentary 1 incident 90-day support with hardware purchases, but no free software support for iTunes itself. AppleCare gets you a different level of support.

HT5312 I don't have an option to send to my alternate email address, what do I do?

I'm trying to download a ringtone directly from my phone, which I've done numerous times, but now I have to remember my security questions and I can't. I tried every option I can think of and for some reason they aren't working. I have an alternate email but when I've typed in the wrong answers for the security questions, there isn't an option to send my security question answers to the alternate email. Is there anything else I can do??
Thanks,
Sabrina

An alternate email address is not the same as a rescue email address. If you don't have a rescue email address set up then go to Express Lane and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Security' and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
You should get an email reply within, I think, about 24 to 48 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox)

HT201363 why my Alternate Email Addresses does work on my send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers.?

why my Alternate Email Addresses does work on my send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers.?

Because an alternate email isn't the same as a rescue email. If you can't get an email sent to your rescue email address or don't have one, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

You will need to free up the email that you wish to use as your Apple ID by replacing it with a different email for your recovery email.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.
