[EWS] Setting attendee status in calendar events

I know I've asked this before, but I'm getting a bit desperate so I wanted to make sure there are no updates that would affect this. I've got an EWS application (direct XML, not the managed API) that migrates calendar events into Office 365. I am setting
attendees by adding "<t:attendee> tags to the XML. Works fine but I really need to be able to set the attendee status to "accepted", "tentative", "declined", etc. I can do this in MAPI by setting various properties
of the entries in the recipient table. But for this application, I need to use EWS exclusively. I assume there is no way I can do this via the XML? What about using an ExtendedProperty? I know how to do that for properties of the event, but I would need
an example of how to set the Recipient Table and properties within that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know if you can directly manipulate the properties, but I think you could simulate an Accept/Decline/etc. and get them updated that way.

Outlook 2013 clients receiving duplicate acceptance emails from same attendee for same calendar event

Environment:
Office 2013 Suite
Windows 7
Few of our employees setup a calendar event on their calendar and invited about 6-10 attendees. When few attendees have replied with an acceptance of the event and the others have yet to reply. 5 of the group that have replied is somehow sending
the same acceptance reply repeatedly. This has been going on for several days now and the timing is seemingly random. Obviously the person that sent the acceptance reply is not manually doing it repeatedly. That would be too easy of a solution:)
Can someone please help me troubleshoot this problem.
Thanks.

Hi,
Does this issue happen to all calendar events? If so, we may try to create a new event using OWA and then check if you can reproduce the issue.
Do you have any delegates set for these affected users?
Do the employees have their calendars sync with any mobile devices? If so, we may disable the sync to see if the issue will be fixed.
In addition, we may try to enable Outlook troubleshooting logging on the calendar owner's computer and delegate computer, then we can check the logging data to see if we can find if the responses are sent by a delegate or third-party software. To enable
Outlook troubleshooting logging, go to File > Options > Advanced, scroll to the bottom of the dialog and select the "Enable troubleshooting logging" option. You'll need to restart your Outlook to trigger the logging. For more information about
Outlook troubleshooting logging, please refer:

Have problem setting Email alerts for Calendar events. Warning message says I need to set up a card in Contacts with my email. I do but it doesn't recognize it. How do I indicate the email I want alerts sent to?

The system of setting up email alerts for Calendar events worked fine in Snow Leopard but since I upgraded to Mt. Lion Calendar won't let me set email alerts. When I try, I get an error message saying I need to set up a card in Contacts for my email. I have a card set up in Contacts for both of my email addresses but it doesn't recognize them. Perhaps the name I have on the card doesn't match a name that Calendar is looking for. Calendar doesn't seem to have a way in Preferences or elsewhere to indicate the email I want alerts sent to. Any ideas how I can get this system working again? Thanks for your help.

You might want to consider starting a new discussion. Since this one is marked solved, less people are likely to look at it. You can link to this one.
See if another contact is marked as this is my card.

How do you add an attendee to a calendar event on the iphone 4

I want to be able to add calendar events directly on my iphone 4 and add attendees to these events in the similar way I can do this with my
Blackberry. How does one do this?

Setting end time for calendar events

I am using icloud on my pc adding events to my calendar when you set the start time it gives you a drop down menu for end time but it only goes 3 hours out is there a way to set it so you get more than a 3 hour window without manually typing the time in

You have to change your time zone to Arabia Standard Time. It will help you now.

Setting a profile for calendar event

I would love to be able to set a certain profile for a calendar item. Surely with everything a BB can do it do this and I am just missing the setting.
Any help? Thanks,
Randy

I doubt if you can have such a profile setting. But, you can use the car hands-free to use voice-dialling, instead of scrolling up to the contacts to make calls. Also, you can set up the hands-free profile to answer calls automatically (Settings -> Enhancements -> Car kit -> Auto answer = on). This means, once you connect your phone to the car-kit, you will be able to answer calls without pressing any buttons - neither in the phone or in the car-kit.

How to filter Outlook for Mac calendar events by category using AppleScript

Hi all --
I'm trying to write an Applescript on OSX to filter Outlook for Mac 2011 calendar events based on event categories, e.g. find all events tagged as "Conference". For example, I have a calendar event named "WWDC" that is found by the following script:
tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
set theCategoryConference to first category whose name is "Conference"
set theConferenceList to every calendar event whose (subject is "WWDC")
display dialog "There were " & (count of theConferenceList) & " Conferences."
set theEvent to item 1 of items of theConferenceList
display dialog "Categories contains conference: " & (categories of theEvent contains {theCategoryConference})
end tell
The above finds 1 event, and the final line displays "true" as this event has been tagged with the Conference category.
However what I really want to do is find all such events. The following fails to match any events:
set theConferenceList to every calendar event whose categories contains {theCategoryConference}
ThIs seems to me like it should work, but returns 0 matching events. Is there a different syntax to use, or is this a limitation of Outlook for Mac that perhaps doesn't allow filtering events based on a nested collection (the categories attribute on calendar event objects)?
Thanks!
Ramon

Hello
I don't have Outlook 2011 but only guess here.
Generally speaking, AppleScript's "whose" filter is very limited and does not support list containment test. So perhaps you'd have to resort to something like the following script, which actually scans the events for test.
tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
    my events_with_categories({category "Conference"})
end tell
on events_with_categories(cats)
        list cats : list of categories to be matched
        return list : list of calendar events whose categories contain every item of cats
    script o
        property ee : {}
        property cc : {}
        tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
            set ee to calendar events
            repeat with e in my ee
                set e to e's contents
                set cc to e's categories
                set _match to true
                repeat with c in cats
                    set c to c's contents
                    if c is not in my cc then
                        set _match to false
                        exit repeat
                    end if
                end repeat
                if _match then set end of my ee to e
            end repeat
            return my ee's contents
        end tell
    end script
    tell o to run
end events_with_categories
Notes.
* Script is not tested.
* IF this works but is too slow, we may try to speed it up by retrieving categories of events (list of lists) in one statement, by which we can dramatically reduce the total number of Apple Events to send.
Good luck,

How can i invite attendees to a calendar invite

How can I invite attendees to a calendar event? Just got an i-phone 4 after being a BB user for 10 years...UGH

Hi sesaeteurn,
I have an article for you that will explain how to invite others to your calendar:
Invitations - iPhone
http://help.apple.com/iphone/8/#/iph82c5721ca
Invite others to an event. Tap an event, tap Edit, then tap Invitees. Type names, or tap to pick people from Contacts. If you don’t want to be notified when someone declines a meeting, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Show Invitee Declines.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

Attendee participation status cannot be set to ACCEPTED via Calendar SDK

As documented on page 3-41 of the Application Developers Guide
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B13866_02/calendar.904/b10893/sdkfxns.htm#1012531)
the attendee participation status cannot be set to ACCEPTED via Calendar SDK API call storeEvents() if the user creating the appointment is not the owner of the calendar.
Can you confirm that there is currently no other way to set the value of the attendee participation status via the SDK?
thankyou,
Chris

Hi Chris,
An attendee's attendance status can only be set by that attendee. However, for external attendees who are not calendar users, the owner of the meeting may set their attendance status.

Do You have a method of EWS API to set the share a calendar for other another user

Do You have a method of EWS API to set the share a calendar for another user , kindly if you can help as soon as possible i'm going to develop an application and share a calendar events as well ,,, thanks my regards

You can add and remove delegates.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/EN-US/library/office/dn641959(v=exchg.150).aspx This does not work exactly like the sharing feature in Outlook in that no sharing message is sent.

Status indicator for calendar events

Calendar events can be set to busy, tentative or out of office. However, there seems to be now way to have a visual clue to what the status of an event actually is. (I am using an Exchange backed email account).
Even in day-view mode there is no textual info that suggest the status. One had to open the event to check.
Color is already used for different calendars, but possibly some other (graphical) clue could help manage such entries more easily and make one more productive.

There doesn't seem to be a question. Boilerplate follows.

How do I set up a default account for my calendar events?

I have multiple gmail accounts and want to set up one of them as the default account when I create a new calendar event.

Never mind. Found my answer. Sometimes all you have to do is type it - then you can figure it out!

In setting up my ICal calendar I have specific times (as new events) that I want to be included in the print out. This doesn't happen.

In setting up my ICAL calendar I have specific times (as new events) for each day. When it prints out the time does not show up (rather its a bar). I would like the time for each appointment to print out. How do I do this?

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

I've lost the contacts and calendar events from my 3GS after setting up iCloud with iPad3 and PC Outlook. Any solutions?

I've lost the contacts and calendar events (& email) from my 3GS after setting up iCloud with iPad3 and PC Outlook. Any solutions?
I tried to re-synch it with the PC iTunes, but no luck, even when re-checking the boxes for Outlook...

I should mention that i have NOT upgraded to iOS 5 on the 3GS and don't want to. Therefore, no iCloud on the phone.

When I try to create a calendar announcement in my iCloud calendar thru my PC / Outlook, it says 'the set of folders could not be opened. The information store could not be opened'. Can anyone help? This means I cannot set any calendar events thru my PC.

When I try to create an iCloud calendar announcement / event on my PC thru Outlook, I get the message 'the set of folders could not be opened. The information store could not be opened'.
I cannot set any calendar events for my shared calendar. Can ayone help?

If you upgraded to Windows 8 you may need to update the iCloud control panel for Windows to version 2.1 (see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4463).
