Cant send/receive calendar invites using gmail

Im having trouble sending/receiving invitation in my iPhone cal. I notice it only seems to do this with gmail accts. I read some old posts on this being a problem with iCloud and gmail addresses for apple ID. Trying to see if there is a more updated fix before contacting Apple?

OK. This seems to be a problem, at least more so, with a google secondary calendar. If I send/receive invited on my default Google cal at least some of them are working. When I try to send with the secondary cal selected (a calendar added under my default calendar that is shared with others) nothing happens? I do have gmail set up through exchange and have deleted it and reinstalled once with no help.

  • 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!

  • 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 !

  • 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???

    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.

  • How do I choose which email address to send a calendar invite from?

    I use iCalendar for business.  I don't want to send company calendar invites with my personal @.mac account.  Years ago I had a Bberry and could choose which email address to send it from while creating a meeting in the calendar.  Is this not possible with Apple Technology?

    Open Mail app. Click where it says mail on the upper left corner of the screen, choose preferences choose accounts tab on the top then select the account you don't want anymore and click the - button at the bottom.

  • How do i send a calendar invite

    how do i send a calendar invite from the iphone?

    The only documentation that comea withe iPhone is a quick start guide. The full manual is online. The section on the calendar says:
    Invitations
    If you have an iCloud account, a Microsoft Exchange account, or a supported CalDAV account, you can send and receive meeting invitations.
    so if you calendar is not one of the above (on the server side) is not one of the above you can't send invitations
    As to when Apple will add the ability we are all just users so we would have no idea but it's not up to apple as it's having the support for invitations in the underlying calendar system

  • When sending/receiving an iMessage (from gmail address) how can I then receive or access my iMessages on my actual gmail account/inbox?

    When sending/receiving an iMessage (from gmail address) how can I then receive or access my iMessages on my actual gmail account/inbox?

    Hi,
    The Messages app can join 5 different services.
    The "iChat Originals" that include AIM, Jabber and Yahoo (although they were added at different times to the app)
    The Bonjour account that has been present for LAN based Mac to Mac chat and lastly the iMessages account in the Messages app that iChat has become.
    Google email IDs can be used as a Jabber ID in Messages as Google run a Jabber server.
    As the Google server does not follow conventional naming formatting it has it's own Add option in Messages.
    Effectively all the services are separate.
    Any email used as an Apple ID can be the iMessages account.
    Of course this may be a Google one like you have that can also be used as  Jabber/GoogleTalk ID or it may be an Apple issued ID (@mac.com @me.com or @icloud.com) that will also work as a Valid AIM Screen Name.
    It may be that someone has their Yahoo email as their Apple ID.

  • 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.

  • When sending a calendar invite to any email address (regardless of provider) that is associated with an Apple ID will not get the invite. Any email address not associated with Apple ID will. Why? Using iOS 6.0.1, iPad, iPhone and PC.

      I have sent an invite to an email associated to an Apple ID and that email never received the invite. I then changed the email associated with the receiving Apple ID to something new and removed the original email address (the original email address is no longer associated with any apple ID even as the alternate). I then cancelled the first appointment, created a new appointment and again invited the original email address. That original email address then received the canceled appointment notification and the new appointment invite. This problem is not just with my Apple ID (sending or receiving) but several other people that have tested sending iCloud invites to other Apple ID users. Any thoughts?

    Hi Stateler74,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  You might be able to find the Apple ID that her email address is associated with by following this article's instructions:

  • 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:

  • 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.

  • ICal Sending Repeat Calendar Invitations

    I setup a recurring calendar invitation in iCal, and it sent half a dozen invitations after the initial invitation was accepted. What's going on?

    I am having the same issue when sending iCal event invitations to Outlook users (both are on macs). They just don't receive any email invite to reply to, so remain unaware of the event.
    I cannot see a way of checking whether they have even been sent, as non-Outlook users receive the invite emails fine.
    Is there a log somewhere that lists the invites sent out perhaps?
    I can't believe it's impossible to invite an Outlook user to an event via iCal on a mac, any suggestions would be gratefully received.
    I'm using OSX 10.7.5. iCal is linked to an iCloud account that used to be a MobileMe account.
    I tried following the instructions in: http://www.ehow.com/how_5887667_send-ical-invites-outlook.html, but couldn't get the code to "compile" without errors, so reverted to the original.

  • 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.

  • 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.
