I cannot get ics calendar invites from Outlook to display the correct time in iCal even though the correct time is in the description. This seems to be a common problem but I cannot find an answer. Please help.

 

I posted this question a while ago and didn't receive any responses but there are a lot of people who have viewed it and 10 have said they have the same question so I thought I would update you that I added my nanny to my exchange server account (created an email for her) and I send all invites to that email address and they work.  So sending invites from an exchange server account to a non-exchange server account apparently is a bug so to solve it, get on an exchange server I guess.

    You need to restore your iPad from iTunes.
    Start iTunes.
    Plug in your iPad using the USB cable.
    Click on the iPad in the left hand column under "Devices".
    In the "Summary" tab, there are options to Back up, Update and Restore.
    Choose Restore, choose the backup and let it run.

    If your old iPad was capable of receiving data on the go, without wifi, then you have a SIM installed. Best to check anyway. You need either the tool supplied in the box, or the end of a paper clip to open the tray

    I tried to find the reset security questions button on manage apple id but couldn't find it. Please help me reset my security questions?

    The reset link, as described in steps 1 to 5 on this page, will only show if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account. If you don't have one then go to (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

  • Issues with calendar invites from Outlook address that come to my gmail on iPhone

    I have been trying for HOURS to get to the bottom of this iPhone calendar invite problem I'm having. I'll try to summarize.
    I LOVE iCal and I want to continue using it. Though I have a personal mid-2010 Macbook Pro, I don't use it too much (my company functions solely on Windows). I almost exclusively use my iPhone 4S for calendar purposes. Yes, my calendar is synced up to iCloud. I have a gmail account as my primary apple ID and my mail account on the iPhone is synced with gmail. I've been very annoyed lately as I have been receiving a lot of calendar invites from a friend who has Outlook, and I cannot accept or decline when I received her invite. The events are added to my calendar, grayed out.
    After much research, I realized that I had to setup my gmail account as an Exchange account on my iPhone, which I did. I then sent myself a test invite from Lotus Notes, and low and behold, I can now accept and decline!
    ..but I am VERY particular about my calendar organization, and I want to be able to choose which calendar the event is added to; however, it is added to my exchange (gmail) calendar, I guess because it was received on the gmail server. I want my calendar invites to be received on my ios device calendar! I don't know if having people use my .me account would help, but I don't want to tell everyone to change the email address to which they send me notifications, because I want to continue to receive mail at my gmail account (like the many calendars, I have many folders there and have everything set up the way I want it).
    I get emails concerning work, events, tennis matches, etc via my gmail account, and I want to sort them to the correct calendar when the invite comes to my gmail while STILL maintaining the functionality to accept and decline invites.
    Is this a crazy question?

    I posted this question a while ago and didn't receive any responses but there are a lot of people who have viewed it and 10 have said they have the same question so I thought I would update you that I added my nanny to my exchange server account (created an email for her) and I send all invites to that email address and they work.  So sending invites from an exchange server account to a non-exchange server account apparently is a bug so to solve it, get on an exchange server I guess.

  • How do i automatically import ics calendar invitations from email into apple calendar?

    how do i automatically import ics calendar invitations (sent from Windows computer - Outlook) from email into apple calendar?

    From Calendar Help. The only two ways listed are using the Import command or a drag and drop.
    Import events into a calendar
    If you want, create a new calendar for the events.Add or delete a calendar
    Choose File > Import > Import.
    Locate and select the calendar file that contains the events, and then click Import.
    Choose the calendar you created or another calendar to add the events to.
    You can also drag a .ics file to Calendar. The events in the file are added to the calendar that’s highlighted in the Calendar list.
    You might be able to set up and Automator action to do it for you.

  • Calendar invites from Outlook(pc) come as .ics, can't be deleted & are 3 hrs earlier than the meeting time!

    Please help!  This is so crazy complicated.  I believe the problem is either 1) a faulty phone, or 2) a bug in iOS5 for outlook calendar if you aren’t on an exchange server (please someone tell me iOS6 will fix it!). 
    I bought my nanny an iPhone.  She does not have a mac and she does not sync to a pc.  She just uses the phone.  She does not have an exchange server – she is just AT&T with an optimum online email account.  I use a pc and Outlook 2003 (yes, I know it’s old, waiting to buy a new laptop and upgrade at once).  I manage my children’s very busy schedule on this calendar and I invite my nanny and my husband to most appointments.  I am on an exchange server for this calendar (my personal).  I also use an iPhone and iPad and have servers hosting my email accounts.
    When I invite my nanny to appointments on my outlook 2003 pc calendar she receives an .ics file instead of a nice looking appointment with the name of the appointment.  If I invite myself at work (also on a server, PC and on my iPad and iPhone) or my husband (uses an iPhone 4S), neither of us get .ics – we get a normal calendar meeting.  We can open and accept and delete, etc.  Since we are both on exchange servers (not the same ones) I think this must be the first problem – why she gets .ics and we don’t.  When she opens the meeting she can ONLY accept.  There are no options for Maybe or Decline.  When she accepts – get this – it adds the meeting THREE hours earlier than the actual time!  Yes, we’ve checked her time zone settings.  I have also restored the phone.  It doesn’t help.  She also can’t decline the meeting ever.  It’s stuck on her phone.  When I delete the meeting, it doesn’t delete from her account.  She now has a test that we added as a recurring appointment on Sunday morning that will be there forever!
    THEN I tested a few other things.  I invited her NOT by sending the meeting directly from my outlook and PC but by opening the meeting once added on my iPhone and on my iPad and inviting her.  When I do that, they get added at the CORRECT time BUT she still has no option to decline and she can never delete these either.  When I delete from my PC, my iPhone and my iPad – they all stay on her iPhone.
    NEXT… I tried sending her a meeting from my work PC which is the newest version – Outlook 2010.  Same thing, came in as .ics, no ability to decline BUT… the time added correctly!  This is from an exchange server.
    I’ve read about other people having this issue but they have one appointment out there that they can’t delete.  This is 20 a week I’m sending her… and the time zone changing – that’s just crazy.  I haven’t found anyone with that issue.  Could we really be the only people out there that use a lot of meeting invitations – Outlook to iPhone and they don’t know it’s a bug?  Or do I have some funky setup on her phone?  If I add her to my server will that fix it?  Or does she just have a faulty phone?  Please help!

  • Receiving an ics calendar file from Outlook

    I have two calendar databases.  At work, my PC is attached to the corporate Exchange server.  No other email client or system is permitted.  At home, I'm using Mail that is part of Mac OSX / iOS5 / iCloud as well as a cpi[;e pf other providers such as Yahoo and GMail. Each in their own domain is working well.  One annoycance is I may setup a calendard event at work where I need the calendar event to warn me that i will need to leave the office for an external appointment.  Howeer, I also need tis informaiton at home. 
    If I set up this personal appointment at work, I open the event and forward it to my iCloud (formerly Mobile Me) account as an ICS file.  If I work next on my iMac or Macbook, I open the attachment on the eail for ics event, OS X will open a proposed calendar even which I can edit and save.  That is just perfect.  However, if I see the event in my eMail on the iPhone 4s (iOS 5 with current updates), the event is attached to the email.  But if I press on it, it does not open or show more detail.All that is displayed as an iCon that I beiev identiies it as a calenar event, a file name with the subjecct of the meeting with a .ics at the end, the size of the attachment and a right pointing arrow that does nothing.
    The design appears to be a good one if it worked.  As it may be many hours from my seding the event to my home email until I get to the home computer, I woudl like to update my iCloud calendar and I prefer to autoamate that to the extent that I do not need to retype the infor again. 
    Any ideas what my issue is?
    thanks,
    Bruce

    In my case the only exchange account I had was at work and was read through Outlook (the only mail client the company permitted at work).  What I was trying to do is send an appointment from Outlook at work to my xxx.me account at home.  If I opened it in Mac OS X Mail client, it worked perectly.  But on iOS devices the attachment was not recognized as a calendar event. 

  • Calendar Invites from Outlook PC not syncing to iCloud calendar

    I am using iCloud on my iPhone 5 and with Outlook on my PC.  When my husband sends me an appointment invitation from his Outlook (PC, no iCould), I receive an email via Outlook on my PC and click accept.  However, the appointment does not show up on my calendar.  When I accept from iPhone it works but takes a lot of click thrus.  Can anyone help me on this? 

    Guys, I did a bit of research with my other iPhone/Exchange - buddies and this is what we found out:
    1. Friend sends me an calendar event from his PC / Exchange Account
    2. Calendar event displays as tentative on both my iPhone and on my PC / Exchange Account
    3. I accept the calendar event on my PC / Exchange Account
    4. Calendar event turns to "busy" on my PC / Exchange Account
    5. Calendar event disappears from my iPhone
    6. I double-click the event on my PC / Exchange Account and click "Accept" again
    7. Calendar event reappears on my iPhone
    Funny enough, this does not happen with all events - it seems to depend on the Exchange server and/or Outlook version in use. For those affected: Is your Exchange Server 2003 or 2007, and what version is the Exchange Server of the person who sent you the event in the first place?

  • Unable to get Color Calendar Items from Outlook to Appear w/ Color on iPhon

    I have Outlook 2003 and I have my work items color-coded using the color labels available in outlook 2003, but when I sync up my iphone the color labels disappear and the items all appear in red color.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I initially had this problem but have now solved it. You need to set up multiple calendars in Outlook. So, I have one for work, social, birthdays etc. The iphone will sync each calendar in a different colour.
    Using multiple calendars is actually quite helpful. You can overlay the calendars so all can be viewed at the same time. I am not sure whether this feature is available in Outlook 2003 though.

  • HT1849 I cannot see complete my album for the new Taylor Swift 'Red' even though I have bought most of the songs! Help!

    Apple please fix this!!

    I had the same problem, but I just selected purchase album, then it says you are eligable to get the album at a discounted price becaucse you have already purchased songs from this album. So I selected complete album but then it says purchasing loads for a second then stops and doesnt do anything. It has no downloads waiting and it does not charge my card. I tried about 6 times and no luck, I just want the album. I hope it doesnt charge me multiple times later on or something because I will flip, THIS IS SO DISSAPOINTING!!

  • I get "Trial Expired" notice several times a day, even though I sign in and Licence the software

    I have an annual Acrobat subscription, yet for some reason the subscription doesn't "stick". I have to "licence" the software several times a day to continue to use the tool. I see others have this problem with CC products. What is the permanent fix??

    Hi Anubha.
    -        There is nothing wrong with my internet connection.
    -        If I connect to the internet and sign in from the “trial expired” scheme it all works fine. Until I close the software. When I start it up again it has “forgotten” that Annual subscription again.
    -        A screen shot is attached showing the Help menu after I start up – you can see that the Adobe software doesn’t recognise that it is licenced software (the Deactivate option is missing).
    -        However after 2 minutes it tries to connect to your server.
    o   If I am connected to the internet then everything is fine, and the second screen shot shows the change in the Help menu.
    o   But if I am not connected to the internet when it tries to connect, I get the “trial expired” message. Then I cannot use the software at all unless I immediately connect to the internet to log in.
    I want to be able to use the software anytime, whether I am connected to the internet or not. At the moment, if I am not connected to the internet I cannot use the software for more than a couple of minutes before it shuts down. This is unacceptable, and the is the problem I want you to fix.
    Can you understand?
    Regards
    Shayne.

  • When I try to print a photo from LR5.5 it sends the file to the computer as a 4x6 even though I've selected 8x10 in the print set up options.

    any ideas as to why? I've exhausted my ideas and find any reason it shouldn't print as 8x10

    You haven't provided a lot of information, so it's difficult to know where the problem lies. First of all, make sure you have adjusted the cell size in the Lightroom print module appropriately. Then you need to go to the page setup, which will open your printer driver will you can choose the appropriate paper size and set the print quality. If you have set everything up properly then it should be very straightforward to print a 8 x 10 print.

  • This is the third time I have entered this question and answered with my PW, etc. I have updated my IPad with IOS 7, and updated Adobe Reader with ver. 11.3.1. I cannot get any files or folders to come up when I click on Adobe, even though my Usage indica

    I Have updated IPad to IOS 7.1.1, and also updated Adobe Reader to ver. 11.3.1. When I click on the Adobe icon, I get no files or folders to come up, just a blank screen. I know from my usage indicator on the IPad that I have 36 GB of PDF files resident, which I expected, but how do I access them. I had updated from IOS 5 because Adobe was crashing so often that it made it difficult to work.

    If restarting the app or your iPad/iPhone does not work, we are not aware of any other ways to fix this particular problem.  Uninstalling & reinstalling Adobe Reader may be the only option left.  It will clean up the "inconsistent" application data.  But it is not even guaranteed to fix the problem.
    If you uninstall Adobe Reader (or any other iOS apps), iOS will erase all of the application data including settings/preferences and PDF documents stored locally on your iPad/iPhone.
    We'd highly recommend backing up your PDF documents regularly (not just this time) so that you do not lose them when something goes wrong.
    How to backup and restore PDF documents on your iPad/iPhone using iTunes
    Backup your PDF documents.
    Uninstall Adobe Reader.
    Download and reinstall Adobe Reader from the App Store.
    Alternatively, you can store your PDF documents in cloud storage (e.g. Acrobat.com, Dropbox, Google Drive), which will eliminate the need to backup local files.
    Please let us know if you need further assistance.
