Creating attendees on a iphone ical event, why cant I?

Why cant I create an attendee on an event I create on the iphone? or change a meeting that has attendees from my iphone. I can receive attendee invites from mail on iphone, yet cannot open them up to put on my iphone calendar, what a pain!
Any solution?

You can only accept invitations and send invitations from the Calendar app, with an MS Exchange account on the iPhone.

  • Inviting attendees to a new Ical event via iPhone

    Does anyone know how to invite attendees when one enters the original appointment directly from the iPhone?

    Hi there,
    only two ways I can think off, you either have to tick the "Show action" when run button...which will allow you to change the date. But this requires you to do it, so not very automatic !
    Daft question, but have you built the workflow and does it always have the same date, when saved as an Application and run on different days ?
    Or use a GUI AppleScript, I can't see anything in the iCal dictionary that lets you create a new event...
    So depending on your needs, you could add in a "Run AppleScript"
    tell application "iCal"
    activate
    tell application "System Events"
    tell process "iCal"
    keystroke "t" using command down
    delay 1
    keystroke "n" using command down
    end tell
    end tell
    end tell
    It would open iCal, then go to today and create a new event.
    It all depends on your full workflow really. It can be tweaked to suit.
    regards

  • Iphone ical events wont show up in ical

    I have had an iphone for a few months now and recently got a imac G5 with OS X 10.4.11. I am trying to sync my iphone calendar with my imac ical software, but none of my events will show up on the imac. All of my contacts have synced, but not the calendar events. I selected the ical in itunes when i synced, but still nothing! What am I doing wrong?

    corrupted files cant download if you can help me with this thanks

  • Outlook calendar items I create not syncing with iphone

    I am having difficulty with my outlook items syncing correctly with my iPhone.  Any calendar items that other people create are synced correctly but if I create an entry, they are not.
    Any suggestions?

    Are you creating entries with the iPhone, iCal, or outlook? You should check which calendar is set as default. You might be entering events in a calendar that is not being synced, but it will still appear on the device you used for entry.
    On the iPhone, this setting would be in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars  ... scroll to the bottom to find the CALENDARS section an look at the Default Calendar setting.

  • HT4623 why cant we be able to save contacts to our phone like every other phone?

    When i get a new iphone i loose some cantacts, because you cant save them to the sim card from the iphone, and iknow you can do it throught the computer save them there, but what happens if the computer breaks? I think this should be a feature added to the new update for all iphones.

    " but why cant we just be able to save the contacts straight onto the simcard"
    Becasue this is not a feature of the iphone.
    A phone is not the place for all of you info to reside.  It should all reside on your computer where you have a complete and regular backup.
    The iphone simply allows it to be portable.
    "would just be easier if you could save it to the sim."
    No.
    You can sync contacts over the air, if you like.  I use icloud.  All contact I input on my iphone are immediately transferred to icloud and to my computer.  I backup my computer regularly.  Very simple.

  • TS4062 iPhone 6 not syncing iCal events

    I created a few events on my laptop & discovered they're not syncing with my iPhone 6+.  However, my iPad is updating events perfectly, so I don't think it's a router issue.  So, I conneced the cable between the laptop & the phone.  It performed a sync.  For some reason, the "WIFI sync w/ this device" option was turned off on my laptop, so I turned that one & followed the trouble-shooting instructions for problems w/ syncing w/ WIFI.  Turned off iTunes, turned my phone off & restarted.  Same problem except now my phone won't update ical events even when connected via a cable.   All my software is up to date on all devices.
    Ideas?

    Hi I had time to call Apple today and it seems hopeless. The reason why my iPhone will not sync is that I have an old Macbook (1,1) which cannot handle a higher version of OS X than 10.6.8, which itself cannot handle a higher version of iTunes than 11.4.
    With this version of iTunes I can load and install new versions of the iOS and it backs up the phone when I do so. But I cannot start a backup by pressing the Backup button, iTunes stops backing up after a second. Also, I cannot sync, the button is always greyed out.
    It does not look like Apple intends to upgrade their software and iTunes for my Macbook anytime soon so it seems I am out of luck...

  • Cannot invite attendees to iCal event in iCal 5.0 on new MacOSX lion?

    Hi there,
    Background: I have two gmail calendars snyced with the new iCal 5.0 on MacOsx Lion.
    Problem: When creating an event, I cannot add anybody to the event. The attendee field is just nonexistant. If I drag and drop a business card into iCal a new event is created with the person listed as attendee, but I cannot edit this event.
    Cry for help: This is weird - I need this to work. With those basics, there is no excuse for iCal . I cannot find anything relevant on the web. Did anybody experience something similar?
    Thanks for your support,
    B

    Got a solutions for you that worked for me because I have the same annoying problem.
    1. sign in to iclould on the website www.icloud.com/
    2. Go to your calendar
    3. You'll noticed some extra benefits of creating invents here instead of iCal app.  You can actually invite attendees!!  Also, when selecting a day for your event, it pops up a calendar and you just click on the day you want.  On iCal you have to manually type in the date numbers.
    Hope this was helpful.

  • Why spotlight is not able to perform searches on iCal events older than 365 days?

    why spotlight is not able to perform searches on iCal events older than 365 days? I really do not understand why if iCal can sync all events, even the very old, the spotlight will not be able to search on events older than 365 days; why? is absurd; let's say I want to search for a person contained in an old appointment: iCal in your Mac with a few key words, I find it right away, but this important feature on the iPhone is locked; we have in our pockets phones are very sophisticated, but it does not manage to make things really trivial.

  • Google calendar event color tags not showing up in IPhone iCal - any fixes?

    I have an iPhone 4 (iOS 5.1.1) and am trying to sync my google calendar to the built in iCal app. The events sync both ways, but the color tags I assign to each event does not sync. It used to bother me that the only way to color code events in google calendar was to create multiple calendars, but it seems as though google calendar has added the ability to change the color for each event so I'm going back to google calendar. For example, my classes are in blue, exams are in pink, meetings are turquoise, etc.
    I synced my google calendar to the iPhone iCal (via settings, turned on calendar tab listed under gmail account that I use for my google calendar), and all the events sync correctly (can add events on google calendar or iPhone and it syncs), but the colors do not sync. When I view my iPhone iCal all the events from my google calendar are the same color, even if they have different color tags when viewed online. Also, when I add an event on the iPhone iCal, the event syncs to the google calendar but there is no option to change the color tag for the event and it shows up as the default grey color when viewed online.
    Is there a way to fix this? Or is this something that google and apple have not resolved?
    I would prefer not to use a third party app, but I might consider it if there is no other fix. Thanks!

    Hello lulu and welcome to the Palm forums.
     I don't know of a way to make the color codes from iCal sync with the color codes on the Palm Z22. The Missing Sync for Palm OS has more features than Palm Desktop, but I also don't believe it will sync the category color codes.

  • My Iphone calendar events are not showing up in iCal when I sync? Syncing has not been an issue till today?

    My Iphone calendar events are not showing up in iCal when I sync? Syncing has not been an issue till today?

    I found this tip from a 2011 discussion on the same topic.
    Open iCal and backup or export your entries. Make a note of the fie name and location, you're going to need them in a minute. Once your backup/export is completed, close the iCal application.
    Open Finder and remove everything inside the "Username/Library/Calendars" folder. For instance, if your username is "Joe", then move everything inside the "Joe/Library/Calendars" folder.
    Open the iSync application. It's located in the "/Applications/" folder. Once iSync is opened, go into the iSync Preferences (iSync -> Preferences) and push/click the "Reset Sync History" button. Then, close the iSync application.
    Re-Open the iCal application and Import (File -> Import) a new calendar. When prompted, use your notes from Step #1 to select the file your created earlier. Once completed, close the iCal application (you should have all of your calendar entries back.)
    Open the iTunes application and connect your Apple iPhone to the computer.
    Within the Advanced section of the Info tab for the Apple iPhone, check the box the overwrites/replaces the Calendar data on the Apple iPhone.
    Click the Apple/Sync button. New, modified and deleted entries should now be syncing correctly.
    That's it! You should be all set and iTunes, iCal and our Apple iPhone should all be playing nicely as friends again. We've used the exact method to repair our own Apple iPhone at least once... maybe even twice.

  • How to import events created on my iPod touch iCal into my computer's iCal?

    Hi,
    I have an iPod touch and and MacBook Pro; I find that the "sync" that occurs between the two, via my iTunes application, seems one-way (from my computer to my iPod). I would like to have events created on my iPod (while out and about) to be added/adjusted into my computer's iCal; essentially, why is the sync between the two devices not a mutual exchange, and how can I change the import/export settings?

    By syncing. The users manual says:
    New and changed playlists are copied to your iTunes library the next time you sync iPod touch with your computer, or via iCloud if you’ve subscribed to iTunes Match.
    You have to sync, not manage music manually in iTunes.

  • Why are my iCal events (future events) just dissapearing?

    Not using iCloud or mobile me.  I am syncing my iPhone via iTunes. 
    Yesterday afternoon I created several new iCal events for today's and next week's calendar.  This morning when I opened my iCal none of my new events were present.  This morning, I recreated some of tomorrow's events.  Closed/re-opend iCal to find the events had disappeared again.  Also, seeminly unconnected but equally buggy - event alarms can be 1,2 3 hours late - radomly.  ughhh!

    In addition, I'm unable to delete some of the other events.

  • All-day iCal events made on iPhone sync to Mac as one day late.

    Had this problem a little while now, can't remember what started it, but it hasn't always been like this. I remember first being aware of it near the end of last year because I wondered if the problem might correct itself once 2011 began.
    If I create an all-day event on the iPhone calendar, it will sync to the mac's iCal as being one day later. If I enter an event on my phone that's all day, Saturday the 5th of March, it will show up on my computer as Sunday the 6th.
    Events which are not "all-day" are completely unaffected.
    Both devices are set to the same time zone, with the iPhone having timezone support on and the mac having timezone support off. I've toyed with trying different combinations of these settings but nothing changes. I have to manually drag the mac iCal events one day earlier once they're synced. This fixes it, because it doesn't appear to then bump the iPhone copy of the event any earlier.
    But that's a massive pain and I've lost faith in iCal as a timekeeping device. Anything glaringly obvious that I've missed?

    I have this problem too. I have an iPhone 4, and this wasn't a problem when I bought the phone back in December. I think it came a month or so later and I suspect with a standard upgrade of something like itunes, or iphone software... but I can't pinpoint it to any specific update as it took me a while to notice it. For me, it does this with my work calendar which is run through Microsoft Outlook. But it's the exact same thing - and it means my calendar isn't reliable anymore.
    I've made sure the time-zone settings are correct, I've updated all software, and gone through all possible settings for both my i-phone and Outlook. Nothing fixes the problem, even our tech guy at work didn't know what to do. I know it's not just my phone as the exact same thing has happened with my boss's iPhone which is an iPhone 3G, and it frustrates him to no end.
    I'm really hoping someone at apple can tell us what's going on, especially since it never used to do this and there doesn't seem to be any way to fix it. If someone thinks they know what itunes update this was due to, let me know - I'll see if I can go back to that older version.

  • IPhone 4s Won't Sync All iCal Events

    After I sync my new iPhone 4s (iOS 5.0.1) using iTunes (10.5.3) on my MacBook Pro (OS 10.6.8), all the iCal events on the MacBook Pro do not show up in the calendar app on the iPhone. I have already searched the Apple support data base, with no luck. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Well, I figured it out. The events that weren't syncing from my laptop to my iPhone were events for which I had changed the "calendar". In other words, I set up some events in iCal, all of which were part off the same calendar, but then I didn't like the color of those events. So I created a new calendar and changed these events by right clicking on them to assign them to the new calendar. Somehow, moving these events from the calendar they were created on to a different one caused them not to be recognized by the sync process. This sounds like a bug to me.
