Creating iCal invites with iPhone

Anyone know how to create an iphone invite on your phone? Or if apple is planning on adding this feature anytime soon? any other apps that do the same thing?

Possible currently only with an MS Exchange account on the iPhone. Else, you'll need to wait until Apple implements such a feature - and no one here can say if or when they will. You can request it.
You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

I have accepted iCal invitations with repeating events and they have since been deleted from the iCal on my Mac but won't delete from my iPhone. Help

I have accepted iCal invitations with repeating events and they have since been deleted from the iCal on my Mac but won't delete from my iPhone. Help

I experienced this issue as well.
Background:
I had opened an ICS attachment for a repeating event on my iPhone, which added the item to my phone's calendar. I did not have the option to delete the calendar entry from my phone, and the item did not appear on the calendar on my Mac. My phone is currently running iOS 7 (but the problem began quite awhile ago; I don't recall which version of iOS was installed when it started).
Solution (summary):
Create a new calendar, move the items that you wish to delete to the new calendar, then delete the new calendar
Solution (detailed steps):
Create a new calendar
On your phone, open the calendar app
Tap the "Calendars" option at the bottom of the screen
Tap the "Edit" button in the top left corner
Scroll to the bottom of the list and tap the "Add Calendar..." option
Give your new calendar a good name, such as "Delete me"
Tap "Done" in the top right corner to save the new calendar
Tap "Done" in the top left corner to finish editing the list of calendars
Tap "Done" to exit the list of calendars
Assign all calendar entries that you wish to delete to the calendar you created in step 1
Tap a calendar entry that you wish to delete
Tap the "Edit" button in the top right corner
Scroll down until you see the Calendar field (on an iPhone or iPod it's usually just below the bottom of the screen), then tap the Calendar field to bring up the list of available calendars
Tap the name of the calendar that you created in step 1 (e.g. "Delete me"); the screen should return to the main calendar entry page
Tap "Done" in the top right corner of the screen. You may need to then tap the "< Day" button on the top left of the screen to return to the main calendar view
Repeat the instructions in step 2 for each of the calendar entries that you wish to delete
Delete the calendar that you created in step 2 (this will delete all calendar entries assigned to this calendar)
From the main screen in the calendar app, tap the "Calendars" option at the bottom of the screen
Tap the "Edit" button in the top left corner
Tap the entry for the calendar that you created in step 2 (e.g. "Delete me")
Scroll to the bottom of the scren and tap the "Delete Calendar" option. You should be prompted with a warning that explains that "All events associated with this calendar will also be deleted."
If you're sure that the only items on this calendar are items that you wish to delete, tap the "Delete Calendar" button
Tap "Done" in the top right corner to exit the Edit Calendars screen
Tap "Done" to exit the list of calendars. You should now be back at the main view of the calendars app
Rejoice, your pesky repeating calendar events have been deleted
At this point all of the items that you assigned to the deleted calendar should be gone
Repeat the steps above for any entries that you missed

Replying to ical invitations with comments (notes)

How can I reply to iCal invitations but with the addition of notes ?
I can do this on my iPhone / iPad but I cannot see any possibility on the OSX calendar.
I am using iOS 6 and OSX 10.8.2

Plus, you can't accept an invitation with adding an attachment...

Sending iCal invitations using iPhone?

Hello, how do I invite people to an event using iCal within my iPhone?
I don't see this function.
I do see that if I create an event using iCal on my Macbook, I will then see the invitees within the event in iCal on my iPhone.
But I see no way to add invitees to an event directly from iCal on my iPhone.
Am I missing something?
Thxs,

iCal uses your address book to pick which email address to send from.
To change this, go into your vcard in your AB and make whatever email address you want ical to send invitations from the top email address in your list.

How do I sync MacBook Pro's old iCal calendar with iPhone 4?

I had MobileMe, which as you all know, was not a perfect program. MobileMe left me with duplicates of every Calendar but I am not sure which one to delete of each pair for fear of losing date. But it did sync my iPhone and my iCal on my MacBookPro. So when it was suggested that I move to iCloud, I thought: Great idea. Maybe this program will work better!
Well now I have no syncing between iCal calendar and iPhone iCal calendar.
Does anyone know how to use this thing?
AGH!
Thanks for any help you can shoot my way. Assume idiocy: step 1, step 2, step 3 appreciated and for each device if you know how to fix this!

Contacts and calender you can put on icloud then sync to your new phone when its setup to the icloud account. Not sure so with emails.

1st ical sync with iphone...all events off by 2 hours

Why? All ical events got transferred to my iphone but the time is off by 2 hours...all iphone events are showing up 2 hours later than when I originally scheduled them in my iMac ical program (the ical events on my iMac are still displaying at the correct time)
Also, on my iphone, my 5 different ical calendars all synced, and all have a different color next to them, but the colors do not match the colors for the calendars created in ical on my iMac (ex: I created my dissertation calendar in red on my iMac but it shows up as orange on my iphone; I created my travel calendar in green on my iMac but it shows up as blue on my iphone, etc).
Does anyone know why this happened and how to correct?
Thanks!

Hey that worked! I was unaware of that setting on my iphone. Actually, I left time zone support turned on, but set the time zone for Denver (I'm on mountain time) instead of the Washington, DC zone it was set for.
As far as the colors being off, we'll see if anyone else comes along with an idea for that one. (Too bad there's no setting to turn on for "keep the calendar colors the same!")
In the meantime, 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.

Sending iCal invites with Scripts

Hello,
I have created an Applescript to open a website for an iCal event and invited my boss. However, when he receives the invite, he does not receive the script (nor does his iCal show an alarm if I have set one on my end either). Is there a way that iCal can automatically set the alarm for both myself and the invitee (in this case, my boss)? And, can I have the invite sent with the script attached? Without having to send a separate email, then going onto his computer and setting up the invite he has accepted?
In this example, I created an iCal event to open ebay at a certain time in order to bid on an item. I want him to have the script (or the event alarm) sent to him when I send him the iCal event invite. Hope this is clear.
Thanks!

Dual G4 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Is there a way that iCal can automatically set the alarm for both myself and the invitee?
No. The invitation does not include alarm details.
Can I have the invite sent with the script attached?
No. You have no control over the contents of the email sent to the attendees.
Why not just send him an email with the url at the appropriate time? You can use Andreas Amann's Mailscripts to schedule a message for delivery - and since now it is your message, if you really want the complexity you can send him an applescript attachment.

ICal misbehaving with iPhone, month view, and events missing

iCal is giving me problems.
April will not display at all in month view, and 1 week's worth of events are completely missing, no matter which view I am in.
My iPhone has all of my events and is up-to-date, but even though I've synced it several times, it doesn't work. I've deleted the com.apple.iCal.plist file as well as the cache, with no luck.
I'm in Leopard 10.5.8, using iCal 3.0.8
Thanks in advance for all of your help!

Can I publish the calendar between two macs that are on a LAN?
Publishing requires a .Mac account, or WebDAV-enabled server as I mentioned in my previous post.
To simply share a calendar from on computer to another you can use iCals export and import features.
Just export a calendar from one computer and import it on the other. It's as easy as sharing a file.

Automatically create iCal entry with an email alarm from a Mail.app email?

Hi..
Hope you can help?
I want to set up iCal/Mail.app so that it automatically creates a new iCal entry in a specific calendar when an email is received that contains a date in the body of the message...
Is there a way of doing this with Automator?
This reason I am asking is that I am trying to put a link on my online store where people can click for a gift reminder email that will be sent to them on a date they specify in the body of their email.
The link could pop-up a new email window pre-filled with Subject: 'Gift Reminder' and addressed to '[email protected]' They would be instructed to enter a single date in the text area and press Send...
Then, when Mail.app receives the email, it would move it to a Folder called 'Gift Reminders' and automatically set up a new iCal entry that has an alarm to email the sender on that date with an email containing the Subject 'The Gift Reminder you Requested' etc and some different text in the body... It would be great if this could be set up to repeat annually also as the gift reminder is primarily for birthday gifts...
Id there an Automator script / plug-in or way of making this happen??
Any help greatly appreciated, though my knowledge of scripts / Automator etc is quite limited I am willing to try out any suggestions!
Thanks,
Jon.

Tried a restart which showed 2183 emails unable to move which is kind of bonkers and had to quit Mail> restart and moving emails from search now appears to be working. Apple owes me about 500 hours of my life so far with Mavericks!

How to over-write iCal data with iPhone calendar data?

As of tonight, my iPhone 4's calendar will not merge to my iMac. The Mac with push to the phone, but not the other way around. I know for a fact that the "correct" calendar is the one on the iPhone (lucky this week I know that!), so I'd like a way to over-write the computer version with the iPhone.
So, problems to solve:
(1) Tell me how to reset the sync history in the newest version of iTunes
OR
(2) Tell me how to over-write data as described above (and pray it works the next time bi-directionally)
OR
(3) Point me to a fix for the original non-sync problem that I haven't discovered yet.
Your help is GREATLY appreciated as I've spent WAY more time on this than intended already. 1 minute sync --> 4 hour issue.
Thanks!
[iPhone 4 with 5.1 and Calendar; iMac with 10.6.8 and iCal 4.0.4]

Greetings,
Basics:
Turn iPhone and computer off and on and try again.
Ensure date and time on iPhone and computer are the same and try again.
More troubleshooting:
1.) Backup all your data:
Backup your iPhone: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Backup your computer Addressbook: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
Backup your computer iCal: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2966
2.) Reset the computer's sync services and then restart the computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
3.) Plug in the iPhone and attempt a sync.
If that does not resolve the issue let me know and I'll give you a different route.
Hope that helps.

I can't use iCal invitation with personal domain-mail

Hi,
I use iCal on iCloud with my personal domain mail [email protected]
When I invite another user that have an email address with the same domain like [email protected], the email invitation doesn't arrive!
Why??
I try the same thing with google calendar, and the invitation arrive correctly...

You have transported all your old copies of those applications onto your Mavericks system. You can't do that nor do you have to. Please do a proper reinstall:
Install or Reinstall Mavericks, Mountain Lion, or Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless.

ICal syncs with iPhone from Mac but won't sync Outlook events

Hi,
I want to get all of my events from my Mac 2011 Outlook to sync through iCloud with iCal for my MacBook and iPhone. I've been able to get the events to show in iCal on my MacBook when I accept them from outlook, but they won't then sync with my iPhone unless I plug it into my computer? Is there any way to fix this? I also can't change any of the Outlook events once they're in iCal, I have to do so straight from outlook. The outlook events come in in their own calendar called "no category" that's grey. Any suggestions?

There is no such thing as a Mac or PC formatted iPhone. Follow the directions here if iTunes for Windows does not see the phone:

Accept iCal invites with different email addresses?

Hi there
I receive calendar invites through a variety of different email addresses. I can only accept/save the invite to iCal (not a Google calendar for instance). Invites won't save to a stipulated calendar, only the default one.
I cannot notify acceptance of an invite unless it has come to an Apple email address, so work and personal email addresses show that I have been invited but the caledar does not recognize alternative addreses and as a result I cannot confirm acceptance.
Is there anyway to configure iCal to recognize multiple adresses or is there another application that you can suggest that works with multiple addresses?
Many thanks for looking.

At what stage does it change? What happens if you start the email with a capital? What happens if you select the address from the pop-up? What happens if you drag the address across from Address Book?
