Change reply to accept or decline iCal event

How does one change an iCal reply from Accept to Decline, or from Decilne to Accept?
Can one make a comment upon replying?
When I sent an iCal invitation to my husband, he declined it, but later he wanted to accept it. We cannot figure out how he can change his reply.
I use iCal on my Mac and iOS devices. He does not use iCal; he uses Windows. (He doesn't know how to save the ics to his calendar, either, but I will send him some How-to links on that process.)

I had this trouble -- until I made sure that in my Contacts -- under the "Me" person -- I had every email address as used by whomever -- set in my personal contact. Seems like if the address they use isn't associated with yourself, you can't reply (because it doesn't think its you of course).
By "Me" of course, I don't me an entry named "Me" but rather the entry for yourself that has a shadow of a face next to it and when you see/edit it -- in the photo area has a little "me" .

Changing ical "accepted:mailto:" in iCal event invitation

Recently I've noticed that iCal has been sending the iCal event invitation with the incorrect "accepted:mailto:" email address. By looking at the raw source of the sent message you can see where the email address goes to when the user accepts the meeting invite.
Is there any way to change this embedded email address? Where is iCal getting this address from?
Thanks for the help,
Michel

Hi Guys,
I was able solve this problem by going into my addressbook, selecting preferences then "Template" and finally adding an extra email field to the template and setting the first email field to "home" and the second one to "work". Then closed the preferences and tested an iCal meeting invite. The reply accept email address now used my home email address.
Hope this helps.

Using Automator to reply to everyone on an iCal event

Hi all,
I regularly need to email everyone who is invited to a meeting in an iCal event. The manual way of doing this is:
Double-click the event with all the invitees in iCal
Click in the invitee field
Command + A (select all)
Command + C (copy)
Create a new email and click in the "To" field and do a command + V (paste)
Same flow but for the iCal event subject
How does one go about this in Automator or AppleScript?
Yours,
Jim

Hi gchiriacescu,
Good one! I bought the app ($0.99) but it doesn't seem to work. I'm using Lion.
Yours,

ICAL will not let me Accept or Decline new Invites from outlook users

Hi using Ical with mobileme new calender. Ical will not let me accept or decline any new meeting invites or change and updated invites sent to me.

So as the owner of a 140 year old brand who appreciates just how important it is to continue satisfying your customers, I have to wonder just how long will it take for Apple to lose the loyalty of its raving fans?
I love my iPad . . . except that it won't work with Adobe Flash which makes it kind of useless for many sites that I visit.
I love my iPhone, unless I actually want to use it outside of my home (Cincinnati is always 10 years behind, and our AT&T network is all but downtown for large parts of the day).
And I love my iMacs, so much so that I paid big bucks to integrate it into my office network (I am the CEO, so I can do that) and convinced my wife, mother and mother-in-law to switch from PCs.
Life was grand, integrated, happy!
And now, the MobileMe upgrade, which tried (unsuccessfully) to force me to Snow Leopard (I was able to complete the upgrade manually); then refused to work with Google Calendar (annoying, but I switched my wife's calendar to MobileMe and eliminated the need for Google Cal); but now, I cannot get Outlook notifications to work. Really?
If Apple is going to now be **** bent on making sure that their products are completely incompatible with Microsoft and Google, then I may have to switch back. I understand that Windows 7 is much better than the old XP that I gladly left behind. My cousin has an Android phone which appears to work great. There are now a plethora of new tablet PCs running Android that all appear to be great. And my wife was happy with Google calender and Google Docs, so maybe technology has finally evolved to the point that we no longer need Apple, Steve Jobs or his arrogant my way or the highway brilliance any more.
It is a sad day. I loved Apple. I admired Steve Jobs. But frankly, I feel that my loyalty is being taken for granted by an arrogant company that no longer gives a **** about its customers wants and needs. I NEED Apple devices that can work and play nice with Google, Outlook and Adobe Flash. And Mr. Jobs, if you are too **** proud to deliver this kind of functionality to your customers, the day is fast approaching (and may already be here) when I can find other companies that are willing to do whatever it takes to make my life just a little bit easier. My loyalty is not free, but comes at a price: namely, that you respect me as a customer. The Apple that I knew AND LOVED is fast losing its shine. Does anyone care?

Accepting ical events on iphone with 3.1.3

Not able to open or accept ical invite attachments on my iphone. Is there a resolution available (I have to open the and accept the attachment on my Macbook to accept and then the event syncs to my iphone with mobileme. I rather not go through this extra step if possible).

This conversation is a couple of months old, but... iPhone OS 3.1 was announced AND nothing happened, .ics invitations in an email cannot be read on the iPhone and/or posted to calendar. What's also pretty surprising is that I have gone through ten pages of this "Mail, Contacts and Calendar" discussion forum and I have only seen 2 maybe 3 mentions of this very frustrating situation. Apple doesn't seem to be bothered by this and in the meantime we, the users, keep getting frustrated. Let's wait.

Time of iCal events is changed on phone

Syncing iCal events with my Sony Ericsson V800 worked fine until a few weeks ago. Since then some, but not all events appear with a changed tme on the phone, mostly by 1 hour. Computer and phone both have the same time zone setting (GMT + 2, Mid European daylight saving time). Resetting the sync history on iSync didn't change anything. Does anyone have a hint how to solve this? Thanks in advance.

This is most likely due to the clocks changing at the end of the month. Events before the clocks change will be ok, events after will be one hour out
This is just a limtation in the way iSync & Sony Ericsson phones handle the clocks changing.
When the clocks do change just adjust the daylight savings setting in the phone and re-sync. All future events will be correct until the next clocks change in 6 months.

ICal events and time zone change

Has anyone scoped out what happens to iCal events when your MBP moves between time zones and automatically changes the date and time settings? In general, I'd like my calendar events to be fixed at the time in the time zone where they are supposed to occur, and not where the MBP is, but of course I'd like the MBP to be telling me the time where it actually is. I don't think iCal does it this way, but I'm not sure how it handles time differences. Anybody know?

In iCal preferences, there is a check box for "turn on time zone support." If you leave it unchecked, iCal will automatically adjust to your current time zone and move the events forward/back by the appropriate number of hours. If you check "turn on time zone support" a drop-down menu will appear at the upper right of the iCal page allowing you to select the time zone you wish to view. In this mode, iCal does not automatically move the events unless you select a new time zone manually. Does that make sense?

How to change the timezone of all iCal events?

Hi!
After importing some items from another calendar most of my iCal events are "floating" and not fixed to any timzone. I would like to have them all in "Europe/Germany". Does anyone know howto set the timezone of all calendar events in one step together? Is there perhaps a solution in AppleScript?
Thanks in advance!

1)Export the calendar to an iCal File
2)Use your favorite Textedito to replace
DTSTART: by DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:
DTEND: by DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:
EXDATE: by EXDATE;TZID=Europe/Berlin:
RECURRENCE-ID: by RECURRENCE-ID;TZID=Europe/Berlin:
inside any VEVENT block. Take care not to change anything in the VTIMEZONE block at the beginning of the file.
3) Save the file and reimport it to a new iCal Calendar. Double check the imported events against their counterparts in the calendar exported.

Missing Ical events after change of apple id

Recently, I changed my apple id's email address and all my ical event were all missing. How can I retrieve it?

Well, I went into "manage your name, ID and email addresses" > " Apple ID and Primary email address" > "edit my email"
Those were the only steps I took. Then I noticed all my ical events for year 2013 were missing on both my iphone and the icloud account that I just went to check out online on my macbook.
Events from 2012 were not affected..
I have not delete the icloud account from my phone/ add the new email..

ICal event times changed when my mac updated time to daylight saving time

When my mac updated its time automatically to daylight saving time, the timed events in iCal all had an hour added to them. Time zone support is off in iCal. I tried changing my time zone from the system preferences (just to see what happens) and the iCal times also change. Is there any way to turn off this ridiculous and useless (to me) feature? I travel quite a bit and all iCal events are always added in local time scheduling. So there is no need for the event times to change when I change time zone!
Thanks!

I am having the same problem but it's only some of the appointments that were changed. I think some were entered after the update and perhaps those weren't changed. Very confusing.

IPod changes times for iCal events

My iPod seems to be changing the time of my iCal events. For example, the event in iCal is set for 1 p.m., but when I use iSync to sync, it shows up on my iPod as starting at 8 a.m.
Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks for the response. Do you know how I can match time zones? I've got my iMac set up on the Central time zone, and my iPod also shows the correct Central time zone. I haven't been able to find a time zone setting in iSync.

Accepting iCal events

Does anyone know when I will be able to accept ical events on my iphone? Or if I can already - how?
Thanks

If you mean iCal events sent as email attachments (.ics files), those cannot currently be handled by the Mail app on the iPhone. No one on these user-to-user forums knows when or if Apple will implement that capability.
You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.
Calendar invites sent directly (via MobileMe or MS Exchange) can be accepted on the iPhone.

Changing iCal event fonts

I am using iCal events to populate a calendar. I am also using US holidays. Is there an easy way to set the iCal events to a different font/size/boldness? I have a lot of events, and when they are mixed in with the holidays it is hard to distinguish between the two.
Thanks for any assistance you might give.

GateGuy:
The only way I've been able to mix fonts is to create the text (font, size, color and justification) in another a application and then cut and paste.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

When i accept invites in ICAL when added via email it removes it

this has been happening for a while now and i really do not understand as it worked ok before then one day changed
basically when i get a callender invite from google cal via a email i use the attached invite.ics to add it to my phone (iphone 4)
it adds to my phone simple enougth and syncs to my ical on my mac
now when i look on my ical on my mac the invites are gray (should be green) and ask me to accept or decline
when i accept the invite it dissappears from my ical completely - i can not find it at all
BUT it is still on my phone's calender as normal
why is it doing this?
also i have a problem with once added i can not delete events sent this way and editing them (ether manulaly or when sent a update to the same event)
any help will be greatly apperciated

iPhoto books cannot be delivered to a different county. To get your book delivered to the US, try to order from the US Print service.
Set the Print Products Store to "United States" in iPhoto's "Preferences > Advanced" panel.
You will need to use an AppleID, that has a billing address in the United States, and also a credit card valid in the United States.
