Edit email address in iCal

I want to edit the email alert to a new email address. How do I do this?

I figured this out. I did not update my Address Book email. Once done, all works.

Choosing from which email address an ical invitation comes from

I have several email addresses and would like to choose each time from which email address my ical invitation comes from. Now it always comes from my work email address and I definitely do not want that. I went into my card in the address book and saw that my work email address was the top email address so I deleted that and entered it in again, hoping it would then be at the bottom but no, as soon as I saved my contact card the work email address sneaked up to the top.
How can I choose (without fiddling with the contact card) from which email address my ical invitation comes from?
Hope there is someone out there with a solution

I'm at work so I am not on my Mac but if memory serves me correctly, the email is sent from your default email address which is set in Apple Mail's preferences. Currently, I have my default send address set to "whichever account is selected".
So, in Mail if my MobileMe email address is selected, the invite is sent from MobileMe. If Gmail is selected, Gmail sends the invite.
Give that a try and see if it works.

Bug in editing email addresses - Mailto: link doesn't update

Numbers has a bug in the way email addresses work when they are edited. When entering an email address, it automatically is recognized as an email address and is made blue with a mailto: link when you hover over it. But when you edit the address, the text is changed but the _old link_ stays.
Try this:
1) Enter [email protected] in a cell and hit enter. The address shows up blue and hovering shows the mailto:[email protected].
2) Triple click to the right of the text (so you don't activate the link). This selects the whole text. Type a new address [email protected] and hit enter. The new text shows up blue.
3) Hover over the cell to see a surprise. It's the old link!
You can also do it like this:
1) same as 1) above.
2) double click on the cell to make the cursor appear in the cell. Using the arrow keys, edit the email to [email protected] and hit enter.
3) Hover. The link is not updated!
Or like this:
1) same
2) using the arrow keys, come to the cell. Click once to make the cursor appear. Edit. Hit enter.
3) same problem!
Here's the only way that seems to work:
2) using arrow keys, come to the cell, do NOT CLICK. Start typing - this will replace the entire contents of the cell.
3) hover now shows the correct link.
So editing an email address in Numbers does not update the link. You have to completely replace the email address.
I discovered this while trying to figure out why people whose addresses had been updated were not receiving email, and happened to hover, and saw the old address in the mailto: link.
I am now going through all my email lists, hovering to see if the link is what it's supposed to be, and correcting the ones that are wrong. If you have updated email addresses in Numbers, you will no doubt need to do this as well.
I sent Apple feedback, and also called them. They are able to reproduce the bug and escalated it. Does anyone else have this issue with email addresses in Numbers?
If so, please send feedback to Apple at
http://www.apple.com/feedback/numbers.html
and let them know.

Terrell,
I understand your feelings. Until we're familiar with a process, and especially if the process isn't well enough documented, it may seem to be poorly thought out (designed) or even improperly executed. It's been my experience through about four and a half years of Applecare support that after you've been watching this forum for six months or so you know more about iWork than 90% of the first responders at Apple Support. The bottom line is that if you're passionate in making your case about something that you are having trouble with, it's pretty easy to convince them that something is broken when it may be just fine. The worst several months of my computer life experience came after that support crew led me through an ill-advised and improperly executed OS reinstall, for no good reason. But I digress.
So how do you want the Hyperlink insertion/editing process to work? The current process is as follows:
To insert a Hyperlink, you type in a URL or email address and Numbers makes a guess as to what type of link it is. That couldn't be much easier. You can override the link-type designation in the Inspector.
Then you decide to give the link an alias. You open the Hyperlink Inspector and deactivate the links using the "Make all links inactive" checkbox so that when you click on the link text in the cell it won't go into operation. You enter the new name for the link in the table cell, reactivate the link by un-checking the "Make links inactive" box, and you're done. At this point the link address is displayed and efficiently editable in the Inspector text box and the alias is displayed in the table cell. Pretty unambiguous and convenient. There may be other ways to get to this result, as often is the case.
But you say: "I don't care about making an alias, I just want to edit the actual address." Well, you have to use the Inspector, or you have to start over. That's the price for having the option to add an alias. It's a design decision, and a feature, but not a bug. Could it be enhanced for convenience? Of course it could. Perhaps an "Edit Link" option on the contextual menu that would take you directly to the Inspector would be nice. But let's not make this program any larger and complex than it has to be. And, let's be sure that the things we escalate to the design team are really the things we want them to be spending their limited time on.
Regards,
Jerry

Default email address in Ical alarm

Hi all. I am having problems setting the default address in alarms in Ical. The situation is like this:
-I had 2 emails, "a" and "b", setup in my address book, both in my account (word "me" overlay on my picture).
-When I wanted to configure an email alarm quickly in Ical, I had, in the drop down menu, the options "send email to "a" 1 day before"..."2 days before"...etc.
-So I went into address book and deleted the "a" email since I now just use "b".
-What happens is that the drop down menu still refers to "send email to "a"", but when I click on it, the email it appears is in fact, "b".
I was wondering if this is a bug, or that drop down list if configured elsewhere. Or is it some kind of history.
Thanks.

My wife's having pretty much the same problem on her Snow Leopard MBP - two addresses for "me" in Address Book, iCal displayed the first but sent to the second. She then deleted the first "me" address in Address Book, then iCal displayed a blank address in the Alert menu and wouldn't send an alert ...
Is there a way to rebuild iCal's links to Address Book or maybe delete which plist file? Have tried rebuild permissions, deleted any instance of that first address in Mail's Previous Recipients list, also deleted that first address in another entry in Address Book.
Thanks for any insights.

Can't edit email address

If I forward an email, or reply to all I can't edit the address. If one is incorrect and the email bounces there seems to be no way to edit the address. Am I missing something obvious?

You mean edit an incorrect email address after the message is sent and the message bounces for the incorrect email address?
If a message is sent to multiple recipients and the messages bounces for one incorrect email address with an return email error message for the incorrect email address, the message is delivered to the other recipients with a correct email address. You need to re-sent the message for the one incorrect email address to the correct email address.
A message that cannot be sent and is placed in the Outbox mailbox has not bounced since it hasn't been sent. Is this what you are referring to?
Not quite. I just want to correct an incorrect email address. I had multiple addresses separated with commas but left out one comma. The two addresses were read as one incorrect address and I wanted to simply resend the message but could not add the missing comma.

Deleted alias shown as inviting email address in iCal invitation

I just discovered that an already deleted alias is shown as inviting email address in my iCal invitation to others. I double checked this in the iCloud Mail account settings: The alias is definitely gone there, but still used for invitations.
Does anyone have an idea how this can happen? How to fix this?
Thanks!

Interestingly this only happens when creating events on the iPhone. When I create an event on icloud.com in the browser the sender email address is correct.

Editing email address

Hi.
Is there a way to edit your email address in icloud? I set my @me.com address with a spelling mistake and need to correct it but i cant for the life of me find how to edit it or even delete the whole thing and start again.
Neil

Welcome to the Apple Community.
you can't change your main @me.com address. Your options are to create an alias or create a new iCloud account with the correct spelling.

Cannot edit email address in sync settings in android firefox. BUG

If the email address is incorrect, I think I have a space in front, you cannot verify and firefox will not let you edit or delete until it is verified. I am left in no mans land.

Hi glennh,
You can delete the account from this link [about:accounts].
However you will need to create a new account with the email with no space in front in order to receive a verification email.
This is expected. At this time you cannot edit the account name after it has been created.

Restoring my ability to edit email addresses in my address book.

Every time I edit an address in the AB it doesn't reflect in Mail, it will change temporally then when I launch Mail again nothing is changed.
Thank You.

On the Mac, Mail and Address Book are independent applications.
Is the dock (toolbar of icons for application shortcuts and currently running apps) showing? If so, there will likely be in it the address book icon - a little brown book with an "@" on it. Click this to run AB. Otherwise, click on the Home icon to bring up a directory window; in the list on the left side should be an icon for the Applications directory; click it to switch to the appls listing, and there double click the entry for AB.

Adding a new email address to iCal alarms

This is probably very simple: but how do I add a completely new email address to the alarms? Each time I try to add a new alarm, it gives me the options that are already created - and I need to add a whole new email address. Help, please!

dixiebelle,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Select (click) the "alarm" field in the event Info window, then choose "Email" from the drop down menu. Click and hold that selection, and you will then be presented with all of the email accounts which are listed in your Mail application, and your "My Card" in your Address Book application.

Hi RonC32,
Which AIR application are you working with? Acrobat.com's?
If so, you say you made a mistake during your initial user

How can I edit email address for a contact name

befor the update, we had a command called Contacts through which I could edit names of contacts who changed their address. I cannot find such a command on the new page.

That is a question related to whatever email system you use, not your browser. You may wish to ask the question at the support website for that particular system.

How to edit email address present in a SP2010 list

HI,
In the SP2010 list "Request Page", whenever a user submits a request an automated email goes to a specific email id reagrding the submission of request.
I donot know how the internal procedure is done as i am totally new to SP . I tried going to List permission and checking the "Manage Access Request" for any presence of email id. But, i did not find any.
The current requirement is that i have to change that email id and put mine . I have no clue as to where i should go and change the email id.
I donot have the dev environment. Whatever i have to do , i need to do OOTB as no coding whatsoever has been done during designing this site.
Please let me know how i can do this OOTB .
Regards,
Anena

It sounds like there is a workflow in place, if I'm understanding the scenario correctly. When viewing the List, go to Workflow Settings in the ribbon and see if there are any workflows attached to the List.
If there are, you can edit them with SharePoint Designer 2010 (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=16573). If the workflow was developed in Visual Studio, then you will need to find the author with the source code.

ICal Uses Obsolete Email Address for Reminders

Hey Everybody,
I transferred all my data from my old mac to my new laptop. In doing so, I got a new email address and iCal won't stop sending reminders to my old email address. I know it's doing this because I get mailer-daemon messages back about it. I've tried fixing the problem the following ways, all of which have failed:
- Changed my email address in my address book
- Changed the email address on all iCal events in question
- Used the find / spotlight tool to look for any instance of my old email address in my Library folder
Can anybody think of anything I can do to fix this?
Thanks,
Ryan

Ryan,
In Address Book, make sure that your card is actually designated as "My Card."
Address Book "Help" excerpt:Setting up your contact information
In Address Book, you should make sure the address card that contains your personal information is marked as "me." This information is used by other applications, such as Mail, iChat, and Safari.
1. Select your card in Address Book. Make sure it contains your email address, phone number, and so on.
2. Choose Card > Make This My Card.
3. Add your picture to this card to have it show up in other applications that use Address Book.

ICal won't update new email address

Hi,
I am having trouble updating my email address for iCal. It's stuck using an old address... so anytime I try to set the alarm the email just bounces.
I've tried updating my card in my address book several different times and deleted any and all duplicates but it just wont take. It keeps reverting back to the old address.
Anybody have any ideas how I might be able to shake loose that old address and get iCal to shift over to the new one.
Thanks much
Bob

Make sure your old address is not in Mail's Previous Recipients.
