I can't decline or accept Invitations on iCal

I use i cal at work to have an idea about the things my co-workers are doing, to attend meetings, go to events etc. i use my private mac at work.
When there are meetings or events i get invitations for them. this part is normal. however, for some reason i get invitations for events i already declined (or accepted, it doesn't matter what i do); the invitations just keep coming until the date the event is taking place. this is the case with two of my colleagues. I also tried to delete those two calendars – the invitations won't stop. one of the guys uses a mac the other has windows. also: this only started after i upgraded to mavericks.
any thoughts on that? thanks!

In Finder highlight the drive. Then type Command I (I as in Ivan) you will see a dialog box, at the bottom of the box is the permissions. Change the permissions as needed.
Also how is the EHT formatted? This info will also be in that dialog box. If it's not formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled) then it probably wasn't set up to be used with OS X and is formatted for use with MS Windows.

Accepting invites in iCal

Currently I have a problem accepting invites in iCal on the mac. Specifically after pressing accept I get the following error:
The request for “invite title” in “Calendar” in account “MobileMe” failed.
The server responded with
“HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request”
to operation CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation.
If I accept the ics on the iphone however it adds it to the iphone calendar, but then does not sync with mobile me.
Any help great appreciated.
Cheers

I am having the exact same problem when trying to SEND invitations. I removed my me.com account from Mobile Me and then re-created it hoping that would solve the problem, but.... The problem persists. This just began happening yesterday -- long after the most recent iCal update. And, I have no alarms as part of the invitations I send. Any ideas?

Why wont iCal acknowledge accepted invites? iCal to iCal?

Good afternoon:
Today, I'm using Lion and my daughter is using the latest version of Snow Leopard, but this was a problem when we were both using Snow Leopard too.
I send her and my wife and invitation via iCal. Wife accepts and in the event it shows she has accepted. Daughter accepts and it does not. I have the email with the attachment and I have iCal set to retrieve the invitations automatically and yet.....nothing.
Ultimately, it doesn't matter since I have the email so I know she has it on her calendar but it still cranks me. Why do some iCal to iCal invitations not work?
Mine are sent from my .Mac address and go to my daughters POP account and she responds to my .Mac account. Can it really be that iCal invitations only work between .Mac email addresses? Surely not.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

smorgus,
Or was it because I told Mac Mail (aka Mail.app) that my default email reader is Thunderbird? In Preferences > General > Default email reader.
AFAIK, that is one of the purposes of that preference.

When i accept invites in ICAL when added via email it removes it

this has been happening for a while now and i really do not understand as it worked ok before then one day changed
basically when i get a callender invite from google cal via a email i use the attached invite.ics to add it to my phone (iphone 4)
it adds to my phone simple enougth and syncs to my ical on my mac
now when i look on my ical on my mac the invites are gray (should be green) and ask me to accept or decline
when i accept the invite it dissappears from my ical completely - i can not find it at all
BUT it is still on my phone's calender as normal
why is it doing this?
also i have a problem with once added i can not delete events sent this way and editing them (ether manulaly or when sent a update to the same event)
any help will be greatly apperciated

iPhoto books cannot be delivered to a different county. To get your book delivered to the US, try to order from the US Print service.
Set the Print Products Store to "United States" in iPhoto's "Preferences > Advanced" panel.
You will need to use an AppleID, that has a billing address in the United States, and also a credit card valid in the United States.

Accepting Invitations in iCal

I am using iCal and that seems to be my default calendar program. I have an old version of entourage still on my computer, but I haven't used it in over a year. My problem is that when I click on a link sent to me in iMail for an iCal invitation, my Entourage is launched, and the event is put in Entourage. How do I go about making my invitations go straight to iCal (the link actually says "iCal invitation!)? I've looked in iCal and don't see an option to set the default calendar (ie, the one that receives invites).

Melinda, I was having the same problem. I found that I could drag the invitation from my Mail message into the iCal icon (which is in my Dock).
- iCal then shows a notification alert (a red circle with a number in it on the iCal icon)
- Then I went to the View menu and clicked "Show Notificiations"
- Then I was offered a chance to "Accept" or "Decline". I chose "Accept" and the event showed up in iCal.
Maybe there's a simpler, faster way to do it. But this worked for me.

Get HTTP/1.1 409 Conflict when trying to accept invite into ical server on Lion

Greetings,
We have setup the iCal server on our lion servers and we just got an invite from a client and this is the error we get when trying to accept the invite. {HTTP/1.1 409 Conflict} I think the invite came from an Outlook system but it is an .ics file. Is there a way to solve this issue?
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi,
can you login to InfoView?
I guess you have to manual re-deploy your WebApps using wdeploy. Please make note of your changes to the web.xml prior for re- deploying the WebApps.

Automatically accept invitations in iCal?

Hi,
I'm running a MacMini as private fileserver in our family. I want to use iCal to collect dates and meetings of our family. Ical will then publish this calendar automatically on .mac so that we can see all dates from every pc or location.
I have set up a certain mail account that the MacMini uses. If my wife or I send an invitation from our Outlook at work to this mail account, the MacMini receives it automatically and puts it into iCal.
Now the missing piece: I want iCal to automatically accept those inivitations, so that the published calendar on .mac is uptodate without user interaction. Outlook offers such a feature, iCal not. So - is there any tool or hint to solve my problem?
Best regards from Germany,
Heiko

They sent an invitation through their meeting invite feature.
Meeting invitations to myself are fine. I believe this is an issue between Apple and Microsoft, though I'm not sure why this is an issue in the first place because both should be complying with the iCal standard (the meeting format standard, not Apple's program).

How can I accept invitations sent from PC's

Hi
I was wondering how I accept invitation requests sent from PC Outlook? At the moment they just show as a line of text in my Mac mail. No attachments to accept.
I am able to accept gmail invitations.
Thanks

You can't (only) de-authorise computers you no longer have access to.
Your only option is to de-authorise all your computers and then re-authorise those you wish to be authorised. You can do this by logging into your account settings in iTunes on your computer (Store > View My ID) and selecting the option to de-authorise all.
Please note however, you are only permitted to do this once in each 12 month period, therefore you would be better de-authorising your computers before you lose access to them. you can do this from the 'Store' menu in iTunes.

where not only change the status for "test1 test2" user, but also add ATTENDEE entry for ORGANIZER!!
The answer of server is clear
trying to change another attendees: ATTENDEE;CUTYPE=INDIVIDUAL;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;ROLE=CHAIR;RSVP=TRUE:mailto:[email protected]
So, is there any possibility to work around the issue?

Currently we are not aware of any workaround for this issue. One previous report of this issue - with iCalendar 8 (Yosemite) - showed that the Calendar Server was correctly processing the event. Given that the only thing that changed was the client software, it is recommended to open a support ticket with Apple to report this issue.

Ical declined all my invitations

Hi I could need some help.
iCal somehow declined all my invitations, what results in the fact that I can not see this invitations anymore. (Normal appointments show up)
If I look directly on the server (via Safari) I can see the appointments,
If I create a new user on my mac and configure iCal, I can see the invitations.
My wife (is delegate) can see my invitations on her mac.
I tried to export the calendar from the user where I could see all my invitations, but that did'nt work: in my own profile they dissappear just like the original calendar.
I did removed the Calendar folder from my Library, all iCal preferences and even some sync-prefs form teh Application support folder and cleared the user Caches.
Why can I see the complete calendar with invitations in one (the new) profile and not in the other?
X.8.5 (latest)
OsX server X.6 caldav working nice and OK for some years now...
Help is appreciated!

I would do this, but why don't I have the same trouble with a new User I create? Why do I get the same problem if I import the calendar (where I see the invitations) into a calenda (on my mac)?
To me it looks like iCal stores the declines/acceptations in some file???
But I 'll give it a trie and will reset my server...
Eric, thanks by the way for helping!!!

Can not receive other iCloud invitations in my calendar inbox

Hi,
I have a really annoying problem on my iOS devices.
First the setting:
I have an iPhone 5, iPad 3 and MacBook Air. Historically I have TWO iCloud-Accounts (started with a iTunes-Account for buying apps and stuff and made myself a MobileMe-Account later, before they merged everything into iCloud).
For calendar, contacts and e-mail-services I use my me.com-Account which is NOT the account on which all my devices are registered - this my cause the problems, but I am not sure.
Now for the problem: My girlfriend uses an iPhone 4S with an iCloud-account.
If she sends me any invites, I only get them as e-mails with an attached ical-file. I can manage to accept invitations by using the hyperlinks in the e-mail and add the date to my calendar by using the ical-file attached, but for example if she removes a appointment, I just get the e-mail but I can never remove it from my calendar since there is no "remove" hyperlink and I can also not edit the foreign appointment in my calendar.
This really *** and now for my question:
Why do I not get her invites as a regular invitation in my calendar inbox???

Unfortunately that isn't possible, if you have any suggestions that you think might enhance iCloud you can send Apple your feedback here.

What is SUPPOSED to happen to accepted invitations

I sent some invitations from iCal and got an email from one person accepting that invitation. What is supposed to happen to that? Am I supposed to be able to view the invitation in iCal and see that the person has accepted the invitation? That didn't happen ... or at least I can't see anything in iCal to that effect. I do get the email telling me that they have accepted the invitation. I looked at the notifications window but there is nothing there.

You have asked a super question. I, too, have no idea what receiving an iCal evite confirmation is supposed to do. I look to the event, and see that the invited person still has a question mark next to their name. Also, the evite doesn't get sent automatically, I have to open the appointment manually, and then click on the send button. iCal is an interesting program in that it doesn't do what one would expect the program to do automatically... automatically.

C7 Mail for exchange not able to accept invitation...

In the product description the functionality is available but he button does not show up.
Any hints are appreciated.

Hi hypotenuse,
Thank you for looking at this forum. I will answer you question below, please let me give you the full picture first.
I am a business user and need the MfE urgently and so far I refused to buy a Apple or Google phone (data leaks). Based on Nokia's long experience, I don't understand is why the status of the MfE is so poor. Let me give you some examples:
1) Security Password
After activating MfE I was forced to set security password, including a letter. I thought it is a company rule, but IT department told me they are not requesting this. My colleague is using iPhone, he is not forced to use a letter.
2) Meeting Invitations can't be responded
I have seen you response and I am looking forward to see the next release very soon(?).
3) Hook-off
When the phone is locked by security password (default) and I receive a call I can't access telephony application, e.b. to mute the microphone or to turn on the speakers. I need to enter security password first which is painful.
Here is my wish list for enhacements:
a) Longer standby time. It seems that the phone is consuming a lot of energy in idle mode. I switched off all features, no screen saver, black screen, lowest screen brightness, GPRS only, manual sync only .... and max 3 days between recharging. Maybe not a MfE issue.
b) Simple switch for scheduled/manuel mode (due to a) - maybe via profiles? I think the profile concept has good potential.
c) Top level access to synchronisation command. Due to a) I use manual sync and it would improve usability to have direct access to the sync command. Today I need to open the Options menue and select Sync.Just as an idea, clicking 'Mail for Exchange' at the top could trigger sync.
d) Configurable character size in Mail. In most cases the displayed number of characters of the Email subject does not allow me to understand it. If I could choose a smaller character size of the subject only, I would not need to open the email.

When declining a calendar invite, how do I propose an alternative time or add a note?

Using Apple's calendar, how do I decline a calendar invite and propose an alternative time and include a note?

No, I seemed to only get the three options Accept, Decline and Maybe. There are times when I want to decline with a note of why or decline and propose a different time.

I can't decline or accept Invitations on iCal
