How do I stop an event sent by email which iCal is rejecting keep coming back?

Some months ago  I was sent an appt by email for inclusion in iCal. This happens frequently - normally without a problem. On this occasion however it was rejected:
"calendar can't accept the event [name of event]....etc"
"The account [name of account] currently can’t be modified. To discard your changes and continue using the version of your calendars that’s on the server, click Revert to Server".
However despite clicking Revert to Server many many times I keep getting the message every time I have iCal open.
Any suggestions?

Banktank,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
If you are not being allowed to add/change/edit an event, it indicates that you have an uneditible (Birthday or Subscribed) calendar selected in the CALENDAR Sources pane of the iCal window. Just click on the appropriate calendar to make the change.

  • How do I delete old email so it does not keep coming back into my inbox?

    I am having so much trouble with my email on the iPad.  I cannot delete it.  It comes right back and floods my inbox.  I have now gone to webmail and removed it from the serve and it STILL comes back.  All the companies that I identified as SPAM with my server and do not come into my iMac inbox all come into my iPad inbox.  It is horrible.  I've tried everything...changing settings, etc. and the problem continues.  The way it is now, the email function is almost useless on my iPad and it really should not be.  I should be able to delete mail and have it stay deleted.

    I've talked to Cox (my ISP) and they say this is the only way it can be set up.  Two different people at the Apple store in this area have said that Cox has an old server and that is causing the problem.  Cox says none of this is their problem,  and they do not deal with the iPad email, only the iMac email.
    I just noticed that the trash on my iPad was filled with the mail that keeps coming back.  I deleted it...which I had never done because I didn't even know it was there. Nothing more has come back into the inbox (this could be purely accident, but it is the first time I've had an inbox with fewer than 24 old emails).  Should I be deleting the mail from the iPad trash every day?  Is there a setting for it to empty automatically..or does this not have anything to do with the problem?
    I also did change the settings to add the 'west' but that probably doesn't matter.
    Thanks for your help. The email is such a problem that I hardly bother using the iPad.  I'd really like to get it fixed.
    Also should it be on 'push' or 'fetch?'

  • I have a sent email (I confirmed it was sent) and it keeps coming back to my Draft folder. How can I make it stop?

    I have a sent email (I confirmed it was sent) and it keeps coming back to my Draft folder, even when I delete it. How can I make it stop?  I use OS X, version 10.0.4 and the Mail application.

    Select the Drafts folder.
    Under Mailbox in the Menu bar select Rebuild (last option)

  • How to calculate the number of sent/received emails of a certain domain

    Thank you for what you have helped me with!
    How to calculate the number of sent/received emails of a certain domain in a certain period? It is Messaging Server 5.2, Directory Server 4.2. Is there a log option for this?
    Thank you.

    Not sure where you find, "LOG_MESSSAGE_ADD". I don't actually find this option in the documentation.
    The domains that mails are coming from and being sent to are certainly logged in the normal mail.log, so why mess with additional logging options? If you're talking about "LOG_CONNECTION", I actually see no additional data that is useful to you.
    If you decide to change the option.dat, you do indeed need to
    imsimta cnbuild (note, it's not cnrebuild)
    imsimta restart
    If I were facing the same issue, I'd be looking at the log parsing perl script, and simply modifying it to do what I wanted.

  • How do I stop iCloud from automatically opening email attachments in Firefox?

    How do I stop iCloud from automatically opening email attachments in Firefox?

    Hi
    This may have something to do with the "Automatically retrieve invitations from Mail" option being enabled? Click on the iCal Menu > Preferences > Advanced. It may also be the Alarms setting? This is for 10.6 iCal so it may be in a different place for 10.5?

  • How can I stop the number of unread emails showing on the icon for my main account including the number of emails in my gmail account as well?

    How can I stop the number of unread emails, displayed on the icon for my main account, including the number of unread emails in my gmail account as well? The number is accurate (unlike the many users who seem to have phantom unread emails) it's just that I want each acc to show its own total, as it did before.  I suspect I fiddled with some setting unwittingly.  It seems to do it first thing each morning, particularly.  Many thanks

    If you go to Settings>Notification Centre>Mail each of your email accounts will appear here separately. You can then change if Badges are displaye on the Mail App - which will show you the number of emails - or not.

  • HT5624 Someone I don't know is using my email address as their Apple ID to sign and purchase apps ect and I keep getting notifications in my emails. How do I stop them from using my email address????????

    Someone I don't know is using my email address as their Apple ID to sign and purchase apps ect and I keep getting notifications in my emails. How do I stop them from using my email address????????

    If a person is using your email address, you should change your email password and make sure there aren't any forwards to some strange email address.
    An example if you were using gmail, under account settings, a forward can be set up to send messages to another email address.
    If your email address is say, you own domain, such as somename@somename dot com, make sure the forwards are forwards you set up.
    If your email account was hacked and the bad guy has access, you need to cut him off, first by changing the password and second cut off any message forwarding to the bad guy if he set it up.  Just changing the password would keep a bad guy out, but if the bad guy set up a forward, he will still get your email.
    A confirmation from Apple would have come to your email address in order to confirm that Apple ID.  If you are getting the other person's purchase notifications, you would have gotten a confirmation of that account from Apple.

  • All my emails from my hotmail account keep coming to my phone, how can I stop them coming through?

    After recently updating my iPhone, all the emails from my hotmail account keeping coming through on my phone. I have opened all the emails from that account so I don't understand why they keep coming to my phone unopened. Also I have tried deleting and re-adding the email account a number of times but it still won't stop sending them through. How can I stop this?

    You can share the same Apple ID in
    Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: here
    But for all other Apple services like:
    FaceTime, iMessage, iCloud, etc, one of you should use a different Apple ID.

  • I was sent an email which I thought was legit . I opened an attachment (zip file) but nothing in it. I phoned the bank to double check, and of course the email was bogus. How can I tell whether my macbook air version X.9.4 has a virus or not.

    I was sent an email which I thought was legit . I opened an attachment (zip file) but nothing in it. I phoned the bank to double check, and of course the email was bogus. How can I tell whether my macbook air version now has a virus?

    No Mac viruses are propagated through email.
    Be vigilant for suspicious activity as you normally should be, but do not download or install some "anti-virus" utility in an effort to fix a problem that does not exist. That's a well-worn path to certain misery.

  • How do I stop my computer from sending emails to everyone in my address book

    How do I stop my computer from sending emails to everyone in my address book? This is happening when I am not on my computer.

    I've been using a local isp and have recently gotten my mac email up and running. I think you are correct about the limitation being from the local isp as I was able to right click and send to all 67 via the Bcc. Good info, thanks.
    I promote the use of Bcc any chance I get. Seems so many out there just don't understand the forward/reply issue where names are scanned from nearly infinite lists of forwarded emails.

  • I have an older I-Pad and have daily recurring spam.  Always the same and some going back to January. I delete them every day and they delete them in the trash folder but they keep coming back.  How do I get rid of them ?

    I have an older I-pad and have recurring spam. How do I stop it ???  I delete it every day and then delete the trash folder but it keeps coming back.  Thanks.

    For those kind of mails, unsubscribing doesn't work. they're breaking the law trying to scam you, they're not going to respect unsubscribe. Unsubscribe only works with real companies. Such as unsubscribing from Gap company mail etc. Spammers can actually use the 'unsubscribe' as a confirmation 'hey, there's a real person here, hit em hard'
    I'm not really familiar with g-mail, but most mail programs have filters you can set up, such as telling it 'everything with dating in the title, send to the trash' etc.
    You can do some research on that or have someone help you with some hands on help.
    If that e-mail has ever been used for e-greeting cards, or given to enter contests, etc, your address is out there. You will never get rid of it totally.
    If it's really, really bad, sometimes what you have to do is abandon the address and get a new one and only give it out to people you want to contact you. Don't  enter it on websites, or use e-cards or things like that that are spam collection mechanisms.

  • Already sent items keeps coming back as sent items in Mail

    already sent items keeps coming back as sent items in Mail

    These are probably not sent from your account. The spammer has just ''borrowed ''your email address and is using it as the return address of the junk they are sending. If they were coming from your account they would be in the Sent folder.
    They have your address. There is not much you can do about it now. They will get bored with you and move on soon.
    Google '''email backscatter''' to learn more about what is going on.
    FYI: People posting email addresses in an open forum like you did in your example is exactly how spammers get their victims. That is not a very good idea if you want to protect your personal info.
    I suggest that you edit your post and remove your example. It is of no help and does more harm than good.

    Remove it from the BA and then remove it from the phone and then sync....   If that dont work you can unpair BA from phone and then make changes from both locations and then log back in...
    Under Settings / Applications / Manage Applications / All / Sync Services / Clear Data.... This wont delete anything from phone or BA just stop the sync process until you log back into BA.
