Exchange Calendar - Accepting Appointments Fails

Using ActiveSynch on Exchange 2003 Server to access corporate email and calendar.
When accepting an appointment invitation on the iPhone, the only thing that happens is an email containing an ".ics" appointment file attachment is sent to the organizer of the calendar appointment, but the acceptance is not reflected in anybody's calendar.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

We have the same issue. Android devices sync the entries fine. Just seems that some items fall off or never sync to the iPhone.

Exchange Calendar sync loops, drains, and fails

It seems I have got the same problem as described here. The symptom is that the Exchange sync never seems to finish. The phone runs hot and probably uses a lot of network traffic. The problem is that the disable/enable of Calendar sync trick fails on my iPhone. It tries for a long time and then it times out. I can't even remove the accounts completely, that fails in the same way.
It's an iPhone 5S running iOS 7.0.5. I'm syncing three calendars. Two Exchange accounts from different servers and one Gmail.
This problem happened to me once before and then I ended up doing a Factory Reset. I'd rather not do that again.

I would love to find a solution to this! It could be to the root of the problem, how to force calendar sync off, how to force removal of email accounts, or to something that I've missed.
PS. I've asked the same question here. DS.

Not sure if this will help, I found it solved a slightly different problem. the following is a re-post from a different thread.
I've had similar issues - although my email and contacts were syncing with Exchange without issue, in iOS7 I developed a one-way problem with calendar sync.
Appointments created on my iPhone were syncing fine to my Exchange server, and were then visible in outlook on my PC.
However items created in Outlook were not syncing to the iPhone.
I'm running iOS 7.1 on an iPhone 5; plus Outlook 10 on a Windows 8.1 machine connecting to Exchange on Small Business Server 2003.
I found a solution here.
On the PC, go to your calendar and right-click the Calendar folder. On the Permissions tab, change the default Permissions from "none" to "Reviewer". Apply changes.
Then on the iPhone, remove and add back the calendar in Settings.
I have 3 separate calendars on my exchange server and had to do this for each one. When I only did it for one calendar at first, this was the only one which appeared on the iPhone. So, it seems to me that this was definitely the culprit.
Interesting that this problem only reared it's head since the iOS7 update. Calendar was working just fine for me in iOS6.

Appointments emailed from iCloud calendar in Outlook are not received on IOS device using exchange calendar.

I email tons of appointment invitations from my iCloud calendar in Outlook. Appointments synch to IOS devices and are on icloud.com. People receive invitations in Outlook and on IOS devices. My husband runs IOS devices with exchange calendars. He never receives the appointment invitations. All of the appointment invitations are on his iCloud.com account. Can he synch to both exchange and iCloud? WIll this allow him to see the invitations I send that are hung up in iCloud?

Could be a corrupt item, this usually fixes it if that is the case
Backup device then in Outlook
highlight calendar
goto file import/export
choose export to file
choose Persoanl folder pst, next
make sure calendar is highlighted and choose subfolders if you have them, next
save to desktop with a name you can remember, Finish
Click ok on screen popup
Go to view, arange by events
delete all entries.
close outlook and any word files, open outlook back up after 15 seconds.
Then
goto file import/export
import from another program or file, next
choose Persoanl folder pst, next
find the file and import
Choose highlight calendar and Finish
Change view back to what you want and try again.

Exchange delegate acceptance not recognized by calendar app

If my delegate on the exchange server accepts a meeting request on my behalf the appointment is marked as accepted in exchange. However, the iPhone calendar does not show it as accepted. There is apparently no way to know whether an appointment has accepted by an admin assistant on the iPhone.
If I accept the appointment on the iPhone it properly classifies it as accepted on both the iPhone and on exchange/outlook (and changes the color).

I have had this problem for a long time, well over a year. I have searched many forums for a solution. I find many similar complaints (along with various other errors that also plague me). Various solutions are provided (delete the account and re-enable, all the way to a fresh install of Mac OS X) but none are more than temporary. Apple has not addressed this. What is more, when this error comes up, iCal can stop synching with the server, which has several times left me with missed appointments. I wish I didn't hate Outlook even more. Does anyone know of a good calendar program that works the Mac and works properly with an Exchange server?

Exchange calendar invitations accepted in IOS remain "new" in iCal

My work calendar and email is based on Exchange. I manage both from a Mac (using Outlook 2011 for Mac) and an iPhone 5 running IOS 7.latest.
It works just fine. If I accept an invitation on any platform is is accepted on all. Then I look at OSX Calender (which I will refer to as iCal) and I still see a mass of invitations (the ones that I accepted on my phone or using Outlook).
I use iCal because I share calendars with the rest of my family using iCloud. So that I can view my work and home calendars in one place, I have also set up iCal to see both iCloud and Exchange calendars.
The iCloud side of the house does what I want it to do. The problem comes with the way iCal deals with calendar invitations from my Exchange account. Here goes:
I receive an Exchange calendar invitation.
I process it (accept/tentative/decline) using Outlook on the Mac or the IOS Calendar on my iPhone.
The invitation on the device I didn't use goes away.
I open iCal.
The "new" invitation is still there in iCal waiting to be processed, the only way to clear it is to accept/tentative/decline it.
I cannot find any setting to prevent this from happening. iCal seems to ignore changes in status of Exchange invitations.
Any ideas gratefully accepted! Thanks, Charlie

have had what I think is similar issue.... on both ipad and iphone. Running IOS6. Have gmail account setup through exchange connector. IOS receives and accepts invites just fine from external devices.... If i create a new invite on the IOS device and add invitees with external email addresses, once this calendar invite is saved into the diary it doesnt trigger invites to go out to those 3rd parties... but the invite definitely is in the calendar as can also see it on mast google calendar.
If I then go and move the timing of the invite that has been created on the IOS device (by holding down and dragging to new time) this then immediately triggers an invite (new Invitiation, not reschedule) to be sent to the external email addresses... any further modification to timing of invite then triggers 'reschedule' calendar invites to go out - so expected behaviour.
The issue is that IOS is not triggering the invite to go out to external parties who have been added to a newly created invite - and it only does this when the date/time of the invite is modified.
Spent about 1.5 hrs on phone to apple support yesterday - they have now passed on to 3rd level support....
Are others seeing the same behaviour as above?

IPhone calendar appointments set to local calendar, and need to switch to exchange calendar. Have to edit each appointment one at a time and change to exchange calendar. Is there any method to edit all appoints in my calendar at once?

Not sure this will work but if you go into the Keyboard preferences, then click the Keyboad Shortcuts tab, and then the '+', you can add your own shortcuts for any application. I am not sure what happens if you try to override an existing shortcut since I haven't tried using this.
Edit/Update:
Probably against my better judgement I'll also throw this out there - there's an Unsanity haxie called Menumaster which might also allow you to do what you want. Against my better judgement because personally I stay clear of haxies. It's (all haxies) probably almost certain to break in Lion. They always do with each major release.

Exchange Calendar Problem with Apointments Accepted from iPad

I have and iPhone and an iPad. I have been accepting appointments on my iPhone fine, but now that I have the iPad, I noticed two issues;
1) Appoints accepted by the iPad are not showing up on the iPhone
2) When I logged into OWA to check that the appointment was on my calendar I noticed it was, but i could not open the appointment to accept it again.
Anyone else having these issues?

My setup (osx lion server + iPhone's, iPad with iOS 6.0 and iOS 6.0.1) works fine inclusive push. But since last week, I haven't make an upgrade on any device, all iOS devices are without mail push functions.
Since last week are more providers (aol...) without push function. Unfortunately I haven't iOS 4 or iOS 5 devices for testing.
I think there is no bug in iOS 6. Perhaps, use iOS 4 push server without geo- / ip- restrictions?
A statement from apple would be great.

Ipad exchange calendar issues.

Afternoon all.
I'm having some trouble with the Exchange calendar on both my iPad Air and iPhone 5S.
I Can create calendar entries and invite attendees no problem.
the issue comes when those attendees accept or decline the invitation.
I receive an email stating which option they have closed but in the calendar entry itself the invitee is still listed under "No Response"
Has anyone else had this issue?
Thanks in advance.

I have been having very similar issues to those described by Imola. The calendar appears to try to load, and a few appointments may show up, but then they will all (or almost all) dissapear. My company uses Exchange 2003.
Occassionally, deleting a large attachement has helped. But not always. Several times in the past, I have exported all my calendar entries as a .csv file, deleted all the calendar entries in Outlook, and then re-imported the .csv file. While this always works to re-populate my calendar, it also strips functionality (like recurring appointments).
This is very frustrating, and results in me havinging to rely on my Blackberry while traveling, when I would like to just trust the data in the iPad. A web search clearly shows that many people have this issue, but I have not yet seen any direct responses from Apple. I hope this is addressed soon.

Will IOS 6 support viewing Exchange calendar attachments?

Good day,
I use an iPhone in the workplace, and my calendar appointments always have attachments. I can not view these attachments in IOS, yet on my old Android phone, I was able too. I switched to the iPhone for the stability, however this is becoming a growing problem as more employees are getting iPhones and running across the same issue.
My question is quite simple, will IOS 6 support viewing Exchange calendar attachments?
Thank you.

Our company is making the move from the BB to the iPhone. We've had iPad (3 series) issued to us for a little while now and that's been the biggest and really the only complaint. All of our schedule sheets for our Field Service Engineers are sent via attatchments. We can't see where we're going if we accept the appointment.
Is there a way to make this work? The Samsung's don't allow this either.

Razr Maxx Calendar will not sync with Exchange Calendar

My Thunderbolt synced fine....just switched to the Razr Maxx Friday and the Calendar will not sync with my Exchange Calendar. Email and contacts are syncing fine.

Gapam wrote:
I guess I'm screwed. My Razr HD calendar won't sync with Google - apparently all my events were on the phone calendar and not Googe calendar. After following prior posts, I cleared the data on my phone's calendar - now my events are gone and I don't know when my next appointments are. Any way to retrieve that data? Any way to sync the two calendars - or to make sure the darn appointments are placed on the Google calendar and not the stupid phone calendar?
You have to select the Google/Gmail account as the location where to save the event. In the screen where you are adding the info to create the event there is a spot for choosing which calendar to save it to. This is where you pick the Gmail calendar.

Does Your Exchange Calendar Currently Show Events More Than 2 Weeks Old?

Quick question: Can you view any exchange calendar items on your Pre which you have created on your desktop and which are more than two weeks old as you read this post? I can't. After several hours of support chat and then an "elevation" to phone support, I was told by Palm telephone support that this was a new feature after Webos 1.2.1.
However, two things make me doubt that this is true:
1) Other Pre users on precentral.net report that they have installed 1.2.1 and they can still see exchange calendar events older than two weeks.
2) I noticed something really weird: I had deleted my exchange account and was re-adding it in an attempt to solve the problem. The account was syncing but I was watching my screen and it was displaying the monthly view of September, 2009. When the account was almost done syncing, I saw the calendar "flicker" a couple of times and when it did, I could see that there were all my grayed out September dates. Then it said that sync was complete and all events before 9/30/09 disappeared.
SO...I'm thinking that the data is actually in the phone but just not displaying on the calendar! That is really weird and would seem to be a true "bug" to me. For my job, I really need to be able to look back and verify what appointments occurred on what dates in the past. The Iphone and Blackberry users at my office that use the same exchange server can look back months and years at their old events.
If you are reading this could you please reply to let me know if this is a unique issue for me or whether others are having the same experience? I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,

Very similar issue here. I am syncing my Pre with Google Mail. Don't even ASK what a hassle it was to get my Entourage contacts into Gmail and have everything populate the correct fields. A freakin' NIGHTMARE.
That said, the syncing with synergy seems to work well, with one major drawback. No calendar entries older than two months. This renders my calendar virtually useless. What is the POINT of this stupidity. I am perfectly capable of deciding if I want to use my pre's storage for older entries.
Unbelievable. I really hope palm gets it's head in gear and starts supporting its loyal users. Much more of this, and I will jump to virtually ANY other smart phone.

Exchange calendar not in calendar list on PRE

So after 3 weeks of working on getting exchange set-up I finally did it. Contacts and Email work great but the Calendar shows up in my account list but when I go through my calendar's via the drop down menu at the top right in the calendar view, my exchange calendar does not show up. Events that I set-up on my computer show as blocked out time on my PRE but I am unable to access the event. The exchange calendar is not in the list of available calendars to make a default calendar and I'm also unable to create new events to the exchange calendar. It does not even show up as an available calendar in the list.
Someone please help.

View Solution.

I seem to be having the same or a similar problem. Exchange does not show up in the drop down on the default calendar list or in the drop down where it normally says "All" on the main calendar page. Exchange is properly setup and I even get notifications for my exchange appointments, but I also have issues viewing those appointments. I'm not sure if the issue in this thread has these issues too:
* The appointments are not displayed in the calendar on my Pre
* The Pre calendar will look like it is trying to find the appointments for the day I am viewing and never finishes (i.e. it will gray out like it does when you first switch the dat, but it never recovers!). At this point, I can't even swipe left or right to move day to day.
I followed the advice of some other threads, and tested moving all my appointments into a backup calendar that wouldn't be sync'ed into the calendar on my Pre. When I do this, I don't have that "grayed out" problem, but obviously I don't have any appointments from Exchange to look at. Once I add one appointment back into my calendar from Outlook on my PC, sync my Pre calendar, and exit and re-open the calendar, the Pre gets back into that grayed out state and doesn't display the appointment.
Any advice for this one? (This is on OS 1.1.0)

Publish Exchange calendar from iCal

I've gotten my Exchange calendar to work with iCal nicely using 10.6. This is great. But:
Is there a way to publish an Exchange calendar that is in iCal? The "Publish" option is grayed out for my Exchange calendars.
I can publish other calendars just fine (after forcing iCal to work in 32 bit mode).
Note that I am not talking about syncing to MobileMe. I know that this is not supported. However, I expected that I could "publish" to a web server, such as the one hosted by MobileMe.
For a while now, I've done this by using Entourage to sync Exchange to iCal. The Entourage calendar can be published to the web. I was really hoping that with 10.6 I could finally stop using Entourage.

I'm having a similar issue. My boss has set up a calendar in exchange that is synced with my iCal, and the appointments do appear, however my personal calendar from exchange is not showing any of my appointments... any ideas?

Remove Exchange Calendar from iCal

I have an Exchange Calendar in iCal (Mountain Lion) that I want to remove. How can I do this? If I select it and choose Edit the Delete option is greyed out. The account is not listed in Preferences > Advanced either.
I want to delete it because every time I receive an invitiation in Outlook for Mac, the invite is being placed in the iCal calendar, but does not appear in my Outlook calendar.

I think I discovered where iCal/Calendar is getting the Exchange calendar data from. Initially I wondered whether the iPad/iPhone were doing something odd, but no, the Exchange mail account was set to sync Contacts and Calendar on both, via Active Sync.
I then plugged both devices into the Macbook and opened iTunes and checked the Info tab - "Sync Calendars" was not ticked.
I then discovered that in Mountain Lion a change was made to the Mac System Preferences under Mail, Contacts and Calendar - I saw my Exchange account listed and so clicked to edit it. It brought up a screen showing that Calendar was ticked. I unticked this and my appointments sent to me in Outlook are no longer appearing in ical - which is what i wanted.
Hope this might help someone else.

Exchange calendar sync issues among iOS devices and Mavericks

When I add an event to a shared Exchange calendar on my Mac in iCal, and mark it as All-Day, that designation does not appear with the event on my iOS devices. Instead, it's given a 24-hour duration from 12 to 12, so to speak. Here's the confusing part: If I edit the event on my iPhone to correct it as All-Day, it does not sync that All-Day designation to my iPad. Additionally, if I then make the same correction on the iPad, toggles it on the phone and removes All-Day. Removal of All-Day designation on a device does remove it on the Mac calendar, which I then have to change back. So I chase it around in a circle and end up with the correct duration on only one iOS device. The difference in All-Day and 24 hours duration does matter graphically as many of these events run for several weeks or months. All-Day keeps them confined to the upper section of the calendar graph rather than muddying up the lowerm hourly appointments.
Any ideas on how to rectify the problem?
I'm running Mavericks, iOS 7.0.3 and using MS Exchange 2010.

There are several other posters on the Forums that are having issues with Exchange sync'ing with Mavericks. It could be that your all-day verses mutli-hour issue may be among them.
Most of the problems that people are seeing, including myself, are more to do with Mail and Calendar simply not synchronizing.
My Mail.app INBOX for my Exchange server is now several hours behind my iOS and Windows Outlook instances. Calendar appointments are simply not being pushed to the server (though they seem to be retrieved OK).
So, sorry for now help on this one directly, but you are not alone.
