Changing 'on my mac' calendar for invitations

I've read of many different problems regarding calendars and invitations, but not this one:  when I receive a standard .ics invitation by email and I double-click it, the event goes goes into iCal, but under a calendar that I've never created, called 'Untitled', under a category called 'On My Mac'.  All my other calendars are under my Mobile Me account name.
The problem is that there is no way of changing the calendar for the event.  If I try and edit it, the drop-down menu for 'calendar' only shows the single 'Untitled' calendar.  This never used to be the case before the new iCal.
Needless to say, given the category of  'On My Mac', these invitations do not sync with Mobile Me.
Anyone know if there's a fix?

Do a backup. Try turning Notes sync off under System Preferences/iCloud. Then open the Notes application, then File/New Folder. This should put a folder under On My Mac. Go back to System Preferences, resync  Notes, and then copy them to the On My Mac folder while holding down the option/alt key.

    Does anyone know how to change the hour that auto populates when first setting up an appointment on the calendar application?

    This also requires that you and the other parties have MMS messaging enabled in your cell plan.  Also, some carriers have restrictions as to the size of the file (picture) that can be sent/received.

  • Mac calendar (Mountain Lion) cannot accept an invitation with Exchange Server 2010

    Hi all,
    My boss are using Mac calendar (Mountain Lion) sync with his Exchange Server account, User sent him an invitation. When he tried to accept all invitations, an error message appear:
    Your calendar couldn't be refreshed. There was an unexpercted error with the request (domain EWSExchangeWebServicesErrorDoma / error 285)
    Could anyone help me to solve?
    Thanks

    Started experiencing this same issue with new Macs on Moutain Lion connecting to MicroSoft Exchange Server.
    ERROR Says:
    Calendar can't save the event "event name here" to the Exchange server.
    The account "describes calendar name" currently can't be modified. to discard your changes and continue using the version of your calendars that's on the server. click Revert to Server.
    Then gives the buttons "Revert to Server" "Try Again" or "Ignore"
    !!! Somehow it seems like this is a known issue, otherwise WHY would Apple have given us those 3 buttons to click on?
    Needless to say this is causing productivity problems as it disrupts the very busy schedule of many users. Apple needs to provide some workaround for this.

  • I changed my apple id but the apple id for icloud did not change on my mac.  How do I get icloud account information to change and match my new apple id?

    I changed my apple id but the applie id for icloud did not change on my mac in system preferences. 
    I have changed my apple id on system preferences under users and groups but the icloud preferences don't pick up the change.
    I restarted my computer, and still no change.
    I have been using icloud under my old apple id for mail calendars and notes.
    How do I get icloud account information to change on my mac's system preferences and match my new apple id?
    I am missing something.
    Please help.  Thanks.

    Thank you Roger, your solution gave me the courage to sign out of Systems Preferences.  The pop up told me it was going to delete my contact and other information from my mac, so I was hesitant to do that.  Well I did as you directed and I was able to sign in with my new apple id and I did not lose the information the pop up threatened I was going to.  So again thank you.  It is the little things that make a big difference sometimes.

  • How do I sync 'on my mac' calendar in ical with icloud or an alternative for my iphone?

    I'm using Outlook 2011  with 2 IMAP email addresses, a business email and a gmail address.  The only reason I'm using Outlook instead of Mail, Address Book and iCal is because there were issues with me receiving meeting invites from business colleagues.  Anyway, now I'm using Outlook, my contacts & calendar are no longer synchronising with my iPhone (4).  I'm using the Outlook synch services to copy the Contact info to Address Book and the calendar info to iCal. BUT, the calendar in iCal is 'On My Mac' and doesnt get picked up by iCloud. 
    Can anyone help with simple suggestions for a wireless solution for keeping Outlook calendar in synch with my phone?  Would upgrading my email account to Exchange be a solution?

    Thanks Winston.  I'm aware that the 'on my mac' calendar doesn't get picked up by iCloud.  I'm wondering whether anyone can help with the best alternative solution for synchronisation of phone and Outlook.

  • Mac calendar events -when edited it is not notifying original invitees of the change

    I am using iOS 10.9.4 on my MacBook Pro and use the Mac Calendar (synced with my iCloud cal) to schedule meetings with coworkers who are also using Mac Calendars or iCloud calendar.
    However, when I edit any part of an original event (changing the day or time or adding an invitee, for example) on my calendar and resend/update, the invitee(s) from the original event do not get notified of the change.  Sometimes it works, but typically my invitees don't get the update.  Any known reason why?
    Thanks,
    Trish

  • Suddenly cannot change the calendar for an event in iCal?

    When I creart new events, they now automatically are asigned to the top calendar group (as listed on the left side of the iCal screen).  When I try to edit the event and asign it to a different calendar, the menu only shows the calendar groups, all in grey, not the individual calendars. 
    When I go to preferences to investigate what's going on, I only see the calendar groups, all in grey, not the individual calendars.
    When I click on the "+" sign in the top-left corner, same problem, only the calendar groups appear, all in grey.
    Why can I suddenly not access these calendars when editing an event?  Why do they stop showing up in the editing menus? 
    The calendar still show up in the list menu on the left. I still can add new calendars and new calendars groups.  The problem occurs when I try to assign an event to a specific different calendar.

    Saw your post Beth over on my thread but I thought I would respond on this one since we're all here.
    Hi y'all (^_^)
    Sorry to meet under such horrid circumstances, but it's nice to know that I'm not the only one.
    I've found out a few things that didn't work so here's the list to save you both some heartache.
    No type of re-install fixes is. Not a partial reinstall of the OS where you keep your data or a full wipe.
    Checking your permissions or scanning the disk for errors doesn't work either. Creating a dummy user account to see if the problem ports over is a waist of time. If you don't have free support on your machine don't spend money on opening a ticket.
    The problem is specific to the Mountain Lion release 10.8.3. The only fix that I have found while I wait on apple is to regress back to 10.8.1 (18.8.2 has the issue also) . . . reverting isn't hard to do with this nifty program I found but nearly impossible for me as I purchased my iMac in February of this year and the firmware came with 10.8.3 in the recovery partition. I've been scowering the net looking for anyone with a 10.8.1 full install dmg (not the update) but everyone either thinks I'm pirating software or doing something impossible so needless to say I'm still running 10.8.3
    But all is not as bad off as we think. The problem is only with Calendar (or contacts, whichever place originated the problem as I have found the majority of people on the net who have encountered this did so while in the Contacts program not Calendar). This is a good thing! Because since the problem is unique to the software of origin (Calendar for us) that means we can still use use Calendar and the cross-program functions of Calendar (like creating an even from mail or inviting someone from your contacts) as if nothing is wrong. All programs that read event or calendar files work just great, only Calendar is having the issue. In other words, keep using Calendar like there isn't a problem.
    This is a hard pill for me to swallow because I see that there is still a problem and I am itching to fix it. My obsession is only causing me to drink. I have tested this theory by creating a whole new schematic on iCal where I have 6 new Calendar groups all with at least 3 calendars in it and multiple events. (I'm a small business so they're not just dummy events). The great news is everything works like it should as long as I take precautions.
    Here are those precautions:
    1 - When creating a new event MAKE SURE YOU ARE IN THE CALENDAR YOU WANT THAT EVEN TO BE IN since you won't be able to use the drop down and choose later because it is greyed out for us.
    2 - If you run into this loop where you can't save changes to an event (happened to me a few times when the problem first materilized) just pop the calendar that even is inside to the base calendar list. In other words, take the calendar out of the group, make your changes, then click and drag it back into the group. Even if the event is recurring everything will be fine. Groups only alter the hierarchy of how iCal stores and displays the files, not the files themselves which is why other programs aren't having a problem reading them.
    After I made my slew of new groups I tried a few things out to make sure everything was actually still working and it all came out perfect. You can still publish, sync to google, or iPhone, or android and things will display just as you expect them too. Reminders even worked. The problem is ONLY inside iCal and even then only when trying to use that drop down menu.
    Long story short, if you can deal with knowing in your gut that things are f.u.b.a.r but keep going about using iCal as if it isn't, then you will survive the long wait (prob 2-3 weeks) until the 10.8.4 patch comes out or worse yet the 10.8.5 major release this summer.
    Sorry this is such a long post (and for the misspellings) but sharing is caring so let's get through this together. Plus I don't know about y'all, but I spent 3K on my iMac so if this b!tch ain't gonna work like it's suppose to then it better be because of something major. . . I figured you all might be feeling the same so I should tell you just how major this bug is. And it is major, so much so that people are literally creating programs to disenfiect 10.8.3 out of their machine. If the application developer working with me comes up with a fix I will update the thread. Until then, try not to pull you hair out (~_~)

  • I need to change the MAC Address for Airport on MacBook

    I have a specific need to change my son's Airport MAC address as his school requires the use of USB network cards that aren't compatible with MACs. These cards are needed because the school's router uses MAC address filtering.
    Before we upgraded his Mac to Snow Leopard, we were able to change the MAC address to the MAC address of the useless dongal the school supplied. We basically created an AppleScript program that ran the "sudo ifconfig en1 ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" and all was good.
    This command no longer works for changing the MAC address. We tried it as root user as well and by typing it into the terminal window as root. After running the command, we can run "ifconfig en1" and it does display the new mac address but when we turn the airport on and try to connect, it just hangs and won't connect.
    Our other non-Snow Leopard still works fine after running the commands so I'm guessing Apple disabled this functionality. It's hardly a security issue by being able to change your mac addres.
    Is there a new way to accomplish this? I've searched everywhere.
    Thanks!

    Would an easier solution be to provide the school's IT admin with your mac address and have it added? If they can add a block of mac addresses for the usb dongles, they can add more for machines that cannot use the dongle.
    Also: "It's hardly a security issue by being able to change your mac address."
    While it may not be a security issue for your machine, it is a security for the school network who is using mac address filtering as hopefully only one part of their wireless security.
    That being said, have you read this?

  • Is it possible to change the number of days for a calendar alert?

    It would be nice to be able to give a week or ten days notice for such things as anniverdaries and birthdays.  Especially for persons who are not local.  I can't find a way to this and end up sending cards and gifts that ultimately arrive late.  Very frustating.  Apple wake up here and help with this.

    Do you have an iCloud account?  What system version are you running? Where do you want to make the change?  In your Calendar app on your MacBook or online in your iCloud account?

  • Outlook 2011 for mac calendar and iPhone 6 sync

    Dear All,
    Actually this is very simple question. But unfortunatelly nobody ( Apple and MS side ) answered me clearly.
    So i want to be sure that there is "no way" to synchronize  the Outlook 2011 for Mac "Calendars" with my iPhone6 via iTunes or any other way.
    This was possible old iTunes before, but the new iTunes and Yosemite are not give this chance. So why ? what happened ?
    Please tell me "clearly" IF there is a way. and please specify one by one.
    Thank you very much.
    PS: I am not an exchange user, i am a POP user.

  • I have the Adobe Suite 5.5 for Windows. I have recently changed to a Mac. Can I get 5.5 for Mac?

    I have the Adobe Suite 5.5 for Windows. I have recently changed to a Mac. Can I get 5.5 for Mac? I have plugins that I would like to keep in their current form.

    burnttimber,
    I am afraid the only (legal) way is to buy it second hand with a licence transfer through Adobe, from someone that has not used CS5.5 for any kind of upgrading (including a discount on CC).
    Transfer an Adobe product license

  • Why did Apple remove the INFO tab in iTunes? I like syncing my Outlook for Mac Calendar to my iPhone.

    I find the iCal very restricting and like using my Outlook for Mac calendar and contacts.  But with the new Maverick, they have removed this feature.  Why can't they play nice w/Microsoft?

    This has nothing to do with Microsoft. It was removed with Mavericks for syncing direct with Apple's Address Book and iCal, etc. via the iTunes sync process as well.
