How do I stop iCal from sending notifications everytime I change a shared calendar or event?

iCal sends a notification (not an email) to all users of a shared calendar whenever an event is added or edited. How do I stop that?

as far as i understand iCal it is on the "receivers/subscribers" side to deal with email-updates (and not on the "senders/changers" side):
snippet from my Re: How do you stop receiving notifications about updated calendar events? (there is a screenshot as well):
to NOT get email notification about updated events from a shared calendar you subscribed to you have to uncheck "events affect availability" in that calendars "info" (mac os X.7 and X.8: iCal —> calendars dropdown —> right click on the subscribed calendar —> choose "get info" from the context-menu —> uncheck "events affect availability")

How to stop iCloud from sending invites to other member of shared calendar?

My fiance and I both have iPhones and each have a shared personal calendar. When I update my calendar, which is shared with her in read-only mode, she gets an invitation notice in her calendar to 'accept' my calendar item. I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to prevent this from happening. It would be ideal if I could create a personal calendar item and it would not notify her when I did so. Of course, she could always go into the Calendar and look to see what's in it, but it's annoying that it notifys her every time I add something.
Is there a way to stop this from happening?
We each have an iPhone 4 running iOS6 if it matters.

I have tha same Problem.
I share my calender with my wife and obosolite. Allways when i change a entry in my calender my wife recive a ivation. Also on the Mac Book in ical.
All settings are on Off for sending any change.
the same was ones again wit me.com. the apple made a update and everithing was ok.

How to stop ical from sending email notifications for updates on my share ical calendar

Is it possible stop ical from sending email notifications for updates I make on my share ical calendar?
Mac OSX 10.7.2
Very annoying for the person I am sharing my calendar with to get an email every time I change something.
I hope there is a way to stop the emails, but for the updates to still go on their calendar.
Thanks

Great idea Lofty! thanks. If the person you are sharing a calendar with is a Yahoo Mail user, you only need to set up one filter (under Options - Mail Options - Filters) and route to Spam folder or a special folder for that purpose.
Add a filter with the following parameters:
Sender contains: "Your First and Last Name" as it appears in the emails they are receiving
Subject contains: "Your First Name"
Email body contains: "iCloud"
Don't need to match case on anything.
So far, only these unwanted emails are being routed to the folder I chose.
Hope that helps until Apple gets it's act together

How can I stop iCal from popping up for no reason ?

Since today, my iCal is popping up as an opened application for no reason and I've had, up to now, to quit it 3 times. It's really annoying. I don't even use iCal anymore since I have BusyCal, which is a better version of iCal, but a totally different application.
How can I stop iCal from popping up for no reason like that. Please, anyone, help me.

What exactly is triggering this, are you clicking on some kind of file?

How do I stop iCal from changing my appointment times when traveling?

Once again I missed an important meeting as I had entered it into my iPhone so that event is to start at 10 AM. Last night I flew to this city which is two hours ahead of my town. So what again happened is that iCal just decided to change the time of my appointment to 12 AM.
Why on earth would iCal asume that I would eneter the event into it in my hometowns time? I mean, when agreeing on the phone with a client, you do not say I'll be there 10 AM my time. You obviously say "ok let us meet at 10 AM".
So how do I stop this from happening.

I was having the same problem and spent some time on the phone with apple today.(new computer is under apple care). Tried a ton of stuff with different folks and ultimately I (well, me and 3 apple specialists) was able to solve this issue.
Here's the break down:
1. Quit Mail, Calendar and Messages.
2. Open: System Preference -> Mail, Contacts & Calendars
3. Delete all your google accounts (using the little minus button below your account list)
4. Restart your computer.
5. Re-add your google accounts. (Obviously, keep the calendar box checked).
6. Open calendar and wait for your google info to populate.
7. Attempt to add an event with correct time zone.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Events I created while I was having the problem still had the problem.
I simply deleted those broken events and recreated them with refreshed settings.
I've only had this working for a few hours so I'm not certain it will stay working forever.
But for now it is a relief.
I realize deleting and re-adding the accounts is annoying but it's a lot less frustrating than seeing UTC every time you add an event.
Hope that helps everyone else having this problem.

How do I stop Ical from stealing focus?

Is anyone aware of a way to stop ical from stealing focus when events are created or modified? I do not want to lose the ability to fast switch to the app when it is in another space.
I have some individuals on my team at work who tend to edit multiple events on my calendar multiple times a day. It makes me nuts that when I am in the middle of some serious debugging or in a groove jamming out some decent code, I get stopped constantly by iCal.

I had exactly the same problem. A quick google search presented this:
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20085680-263/keep-applications-from-stealin g-focus-when-opening-in-os-x/
I've tried it - editing the Info.plist - and it works a treat. Note - it appears you can no longer cmd-tab to the app once you make this change. But I can live with that
iCal developers - please, for the love of God and all things UX - please change this default behaviour. Or at least provide an option to make iCal less obnoxious. It was the focus stealing behaviour of Windows 95 that moved me away from Windows.

How do I stop iTunes from sending Crash Reports?

My iTunes once asked me if it could send crash report info to Apple. I said yes.
How do I now stop it from doing this?

Never mind. *Reset Warnings* does the trick.

How can i stop icloud from sending me a e-mail everytime I write or update a note on my iphone???

Every time I make a new note, or even when I simply update an existing note (this can be a minor change such as one letter) an email is sent to my Gmail. It never shows as an unread new email in my inbox, but it's there, in my "All mail" folder. I now have thousands of e-mails sent from "me" with a copy of each note I've written and updated, even if it's a minor change. This is ridiculous. Who the **** thought of this absurd system? Why on earth would I want to keep track of every minor change I make?
It is preposterous to see that Apple (and other companies with "cloud" servers) are keeping track of ALL the information we type in our phones. Nothing is private anymore, nothing is truly ours. Thank you "cloud" for stripping us from our privacy and freedom and for making Orwell's vision become reality. I've always wanted a big brother... Everything might be going up in the cloud, but hopefully it will rain a lot, soon. We have to find a way to bring the personal computer back.
Anyway, please let me know how I can disconnect myself from iCloud, I just like using Google drive from time to time to store certain notes and documents.
Thank you,

Hey there,
Unfortunately this issue is going to have to be addressed on the iphone senders end. They will need to turn on "send as SMS" in their settings of their iPhones because when an iMessage fails, it should send SMS and get to your android.
Also, rumor has it updating to iOS 7.1.1 on the other iPhones will clear the system as well but as long as you've already called AppleCare and they degregistered your number from iMessage, you should be good.
Hope this helps

How do I stop iCal from autoloading on startup?

iCal used to autostart when I started up my computer. Then I started keeping a flashdrive plugged in for convenience, but I had to remove it to prevent iPhoto from autoloading on startup of my iMacG5. Neither application is autostarting at this time; I hope I have found a permanent solution.

to stop iPhoto from launching when a flash drive is plugged in go to the iPhoto preferences and set action when a camera is connected to do nothing
Your post is extremely unclear - do you want to stop iCal form loading - or do you want it to start again?

How can I stop iCal from trying to connect to the server during corrections?

Recently, my iCal lost the connection to my gmail calendar (and my wife's), and as I was trying to fix it (by replacing the @ in the server address with a &40-something), it turned out that iCal started trying to connect again - but this time it had lost the proper password.
Now, it says something like "Server connection error: make sure you have the right password" - and then I'm supposed to click OK. When I do that, iCal immediately starts trying to reconnect, and I simply didn't have time to change my password or anything. Back to square one.
I figured I should reboot, but the iMac won't let me shut down before I've shut down iCal, which again can't be done before the "Server connection.."-dialog is closed. Back to square one.
My system is OS X 10.6.7, on a 2011 iMac.

Quit iCal from the dock. To do this, click and hold on the iCal icon (in the dock), and select Quit from the pop-up menu and release the click to Quit the app.
If that fails, then click on the icon in the dock again (and while still holding the click on the icon ) press the Option key, and select Force Quit from the pop-up and release to Force Quit the app.
I'd go after the iCal server setting via the iCal > Preferences > Accounts panel, if that's not what you're trying here.
And if that fails, then reboot (probably unnecessary, but...), disconnect from the WiFi, launch iCal, and clean up the configuration error that way. iCal should get a different error on a network disconnect, and should then let you access the preferences.
The AppleScript category? Eh?

How do I stop icloud from sending my texts that I receive from appearing on another iphone? I can't find a way to reverse allowing another device to receive my incoming texts.

I should say that it happend through icloud.

How do I stop iCal from ever changing the time zones of my appointments?

I cannot figure out time zone support in iCal, and just want it never to move the time of an appointment when I change time zones. I have tried switching time zone support on and off, and it makes no difference, the appointment times change when the time zone changes. It's infuriating! How do I make it stop?
Thanks!

Whitecity,
According to iCal Help...Changing the time zone for an event: Choose iCal > Preferences, click Advanced, and select the "Turn on time zone support" checkbox...To change the event's time zone, choose a time zone from the pop-up menu in the Info drawer. To make the event appear at the same time no matter what time zone the main calendar view is in, choose Floating..;~)

How can I stop people from sending iMessages to my number?

I recently switched from iPhone to Android. I unregistered my device online, turned off iMessage on my device, did a factory reset, removed my number from my AppleID, called support and had them disassociate my number from my AppleID. I also texted "Stop" to 48269.
As of right now, when people try to text me, they receive an error which says the message failed to be delivered. When I text them, they receive the text, but when they try to respond, they get the same error. Is there a way to change the default method that the messages are sent? For example, if someone who I previously had an iMessage thread with tries to text me, I would like it to automatically send that message as an SMS.
If they delete the thread, or specifically choose to send a message as an SMS, then messages work. Ideally, I would like this change to automatically happen (i.e. the messages in their thread turn from blue to green without having to change anything). It's pretty aggravating to have to tell everyone I have an iMessage thread with to delete that thread.
***Note: This problem is only with people who I have had previous iMessage threads with. Also, I traded in the phone to Verizon when I made the switch, so I no longer have it.

How can I stop Verizon from sending me texts and calling my phone?

I am not the primary on the account. The primary has called and complained numerous times and was told each time, my number isn't in the system and I shouldn't be getting these, but the calls and texts keep coming, dozens per month, every month. When I get the calls, I push the number to let them know they are calling the wrong number, it tells me to wait for customer service and when they answer they wont talk to me because I am not the primary. I am so upset by being harassed by the 10 calls and messages per day and no one will help me. Somebody help stop these automated calls and get my number out of the automated call and text system! I need a solution.

My next suggestion is to simply change your cell number on this line. However I frown upon doing so since I believe you may end up with a worst set of annoyance calls then you are receiving now. Its a crap shoot.
Often times it takes almost 30 days for your number to be purged from verizons calling or marketing system. Just wait for that time to elapse before doing any number change.
At my verizon you can block up to five text or telephone numbers for 90 days. If they are not internal verizon business numbers you can block them
Please note these calls you receive can be external telemarketing calls who are pestering verizon customers via auto dial.
You can send unwanted texts to #spam and follow the instructions.
Good Luck

How can I stop ical from deleting time information from event titles?

I sometimes like to put times (e.g., 10pm) in the titles of my events. I do this because I want to see the time in the event title for certain events. Apple's ical thinks it knows what I want (it doesn't!) and deletes this information from the title, probably to schedule the event at that time, which is ridiculous because I sent the time of the event when I create it. This is especially annoying because I want the time in the event title for a reason. I can't figure out how to turn this function off. Apple, if you're reading this, please add an easy on/off switch to this "feature," (or better yet, remove it). In the meantime, does anyone know how to get around this?

Enter them in a format that Calendar doesn’t recognize as a time.
Or go back and edit the title after it recognizes the date/time info.
