How to prevent iCal from sending invitations

After receiving an invite for dinner to my brother's home I used Siri to set up the "Appointment" on my iPhone 6 plus.  I then received a phone call from my brother asking why he received an email from me confirming an "Appointment" for dinner.  How do I stop the Calendar from sending these email invitations. 

Hello Vtgolfr, 
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
It sounds like the Calendar event that you created on your iPhone included your brother's email address. Before saving an event in the future, you may want to check the invitee field to see if his email is being populated by Siri when you create a calendar event.
You can find more information about Calendar invitations in the iOS 8 User Guide:
Invitations - iPhone

  • 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 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.

  • Preventing ical from sending response to organizer

    I been sending some of my (outlook)work meetings to my home email to import them into iCal at home. However iCal insist on sending a response to the meeting organizer.
    Is there a way to block this behaviour (sending a response)?
    It causes confusion and concern as they do not know my home email address and it also inflates the number of invitees in the eyes or the organizer.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    There is a way to open all invitation replies in Mail, so you can choose to send a reply or not. You will need admin rights on the machine and it will involve changing an Applescript file inside iCal's application package. Also I suppose some experience of using Script Editor would be handy.
    Please make sure you know what you are doing. If you need any more explanation, post back.
    * Control-Click the iCal Application in the Finder.
    * Choose 'Show Package Contents' from the contextual menu.
    * In the new window that appears go to Contents/Resources.
    * In here find the file called 'Mail.scpt'.
    * Make a copy of this file and save it somewhere safe (in case somthing goes wrong).
    * Double click the original 'Mail.scpt' file, it should open in Script Editor.
    * In the script there are six handlers: showmailsbrs, showmailsbr, sendmailsb, sendmailsbr, sendmailsbrp and sendmailsbp. These all start with the word 'on'.
    * In the handler that starts 'on sendmailsbrp(subjectLine, messageText, myrecipient, invitationPath)' find the line: send mymail
    * Replace this with the following six lines:
    -- Altered to open notifications in Mail.app without sending
    -- Original line quoted out below.
    -- send mymail
    set visible of mymail to true
    activate
    -- End Altered to open notifications* Save the script and you're done.
    Your replies to invitations should now open in Mail for you to choose if you want them sent or not.
    I hope this helps

  • How to stop Siri from sending invitations when I just want to put it on MY calendar.

    Whenever I say, "Add to calendar lunch with Beth on Tuesday at 1pm"   it emails Beth or whoever and invites them without me even knowing.  THERE MUST BE A WAY TO STOP THIS.  Please someone at APPLE tell us how to do this. I beg of you.  I've resorted to not using siri or using siri in a crytic way ""Add to calender lunch with my collegaue who teaches family law on Tuesday."  There is no logically reason why I shouldn't be able to turn this feature off.

    Yeah! At minimum, Siri should ask prior to sending junk mail out to people.

  • My iPhone 4S is preventing me from sending text messages and making or recieving phone calls, any suggestions on how to rid of this problem?

    My iPhone 4S will not recieve calls or text messages. It also prevents me from sending calls or text messages. I have had my SIM card double checked for verification on the phone listed and had several visits to my Bell provider. Any tips or suggestions?

    The iphone is designed to lock the screen when it is next to your face.
    If it is not locking when it is against your ear, then try basic troubleshooting: Restart,reset, restore
    Unless you have a case on it. If you have a case, then remove the case and see if that solves it.  Otherwise, try basic troubleshooting.
    If all fails then make an appointment at the local genius bar or call Apple support to arrange from a replacement.

  • How to Block user from Sending IM or Hide Presence of there user who is not in his department

    Hi All,
    How to Block user from Sending IM or Hide Presence of there user who is not in his department.
    Thank you

    Hi Jp,
    Method 1:
    You can use the Enhanced Privacy Mode in Lync 2013
    <section class="ocpSection">
    Enable Privacy Mode
    By default, everyone except Blocked Contacts can see your presence status. To modify the privacy settings, you can do the following:
    In the Lync main window, click the Options button.
    In the Lync - Options dialog box, click Status, and then do one of the following:
    Click I want everyone to be able to see my presence regardless of system settings (override default settings).
    Click I want the system administrator to decide - currently everyone can see my presence but this could change in the future.
    </section>
    About Enhanced Privacy Mode
    If your organization has enabled Enhanced Privacy Mode in Lync, you can choose whether to limit visibility of your presence information to only those people you’ve added to your Contacts list. You do that by selecting one of the following on the
    Options->Status window:
    I want everyone to be able to see my presence
    I only want people in my Contacts list to see my presence
    Method 2:
    Using Privacy Relationship, you can block a particular user by adding him to blocked contacts

  • How to prevent apps from syncing in the new version of itunes?

    Hey there.
    I brang my macbook to Applestore cause it had a problem and they downloaded the latest version of itunes. Everything's fine and my music, videos and apps are in the new itunes like before. But now, when I want to sync my iphone, a pop window asks me to give the password of the itunes account I used to download some of my apps or it will delete them and their data. The problem is that one of these accounts is an old friend's one and I actually lost all contact with him. So basically now I can't sync my iphone at all or it will delete all my apps.
    Has anyone any idea how to sort that out? Or at least knows how to prevent apps from syncing in this new version of itunes?
    Thanks for your help

  • How to prevent Oracle from using an index when joining two tables ...

    How to prevent Oracle from using an index when joining two tables to get an inline view which is used in an update statement?
    O.K. I think I have to explain what I mean:
    When joining two tables which have many entries sometimes it es better not to use an index on the column used as join criteria.
    I have two tables: table A and table B.
    Table A has 4.000.000 entries and table B has 700.000 entries.
    I have a join of both tables with a numeric column as join criteria.
    There is an index on this column in table A.
    So I instead of
      where (A.col = B.col)I want to use
      where (A.col+0 = B.col)in order to prevent Oracle from using the index.
    When I use the join in a select statement it works.
    But when I use the join as inline view in an update statement I get the error ORA-01779.
    When I remove the "+0" the update statement works. (The column col is unique in table B).
    Any ideas why this happens?
    Thank you very much in advance for any help.
    Regards Hartmut

    I think you should post an properly formatted explain plan output using DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY including the "Predicate Information" section below the plan to provide more details regarding your query resp. update statement. Please use the \[code\] and \[code\] tags to enhance readability of the output provided:
    In SQL*Plus:
    SET LINESIZE 130
    EXPLAIN PLAN FOR <your statement>;
    SELECT * FROM TABLE(DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY);Usually if you're using the CBO (cost based optimizer) and have reasonable statistics gathered on the database objects used the optimizer should be able to determine if it is better to use the existing index or not.
    Things look different if you don't have statistics, you have outdated/wrong statistics or deliberately still use the RBO (rule based optimizer). In this case you would have to use other means to prevent the index usage, the most obvious would be the already mentioned NO_INDEX or FULL hint.
    But I strongly recommend to check in first place why the optimizer apparently seems to choose an inappropriate index access path.

  • How to prevent users from creating new folders in share folder directory?

    Hello guys
    I'd like to know How to prevent users from creating new folders in share folder directory but still keep their power of creating new folders in their personal 'my folder'?
    I tried changing the 'manage privilage ---- create folder' to deny certain user accounts, but by doing so, it also stops the user from creating new folders in their 'my folder', which is not good..
    I also tried going into these share folders and tried different access types such as 'change/delete', 'read', 'traverse folder' etc, but none of it work ideally. The 'change/delete' access still allows them to create new folders, 'read' access prevents creating new folders but also take away their power of saving reports..
    Any thoughts on how to take away their ability to ONLY create new folders in share folder areas without affecting their other privileges?
    Please advise
    Thank you

    Easy, on the shared folders root folder only give them 'read' or 'traverse folder' but on the the folder inside the shared folders root folder give them 'change/delete'. That means they can change anything inside those folders but not create any folders at the shared folders root level.

  • How to prevent B1 from populating the grid with components?

    Hello group,
    We have customized a form that pops up when user enters a parent item (of a template-type BOM) in the quotation grid.  The form displays the component items and lets the user mark which items to "paste" onto the quotation.  However, B1 automatically populates the grid with the component items once focus moves away from the item code column. 
    <b>How to prevent B1 from populating the grid with components <i>while</i> retaining the parent item in the item code column?</b>  I've tried trapping the Validate event, etc. with no success.

    Instead of setting the parent item up as a template type BOM, you could set up the list of parent/child items on a user table and use this user table to display the items in your pop-up screen.  As the parent item would no longer be a template BOM, Business One would no longer automatically popuplate the grid, and you could write your own code to add only the items selected in your pop-up screen into the grid.

  • How 2 prevent time from changing on leopard and vista?

    if i maintain successive boots into the same OS on my macbook, the time is shown correctly, whereas on booting into another OS changes the time. how to prevent this from happening?
    Neerav

    From what my brother says says about his set-up (he boots into 64 bit Vista periodically), apparently you can't. My understanding is that the two systems do a different version of time at boot, Vista uses a GMT setting in bios, and I think Mac use a local time in EFI. Anyway, the result is several hours difference between the two. I don't use Boot Camp, but I would think if you are on a network with Internet access, you should be able to have the clock reset automatically using System Prefs->Date and Time, and check the box at the top to automatically set the time from the Apple time server.

  • How to stop iCal from rudely sending accept/decline notifications?

    How do you stop iCal from rudely sending accept/decline notifications without my permission? And why would anyone at Apple think it's a good idea impose this on us without giving an obvious to turn it off?
    Okay you don't have answer the second question but you really have to wonder what someone was thinking?!

    Totally agree with you. Very annoying (and embarrassing) when I'm cleaning up old Calendar entries - sometimes from months ago! - and my colleagues start receiving 'Declined' messages.
    Why would one put in functionality (without the ability to switch it off!) like this???
