ICal entry/event e-mails

How do I turn off the e-mail alerts to new entries in shared calendars? I had this issue a year ago when it first surfaced in OSX, and now it has suddenly happening again. "Events affect availability" is turned off on all shared calendars, so that is not causing it. Any ideas from anyone? These e-mails are annoying.

She needs to be in your address book with an email address. Edit the event you want to send. Click on Add Invitees. Enter name. Done!

Problem creating iCal Events from Mail in Leopard

The new function that allows the user to create iCal events from Mail messages is quite impressive and very useful. Unfortunately the data detectors seem to have trouble with certain commonplace date formats. While the detector recognises the date, it cannot activate an event in iCal. For instance the data detector will pick up the dates in these formats and create iCal events:
30 October 2007
30 Oct 07
30/10/07
but not in this format:
30-Oct-07
In the latter case, the data detector recognises it is a date, produces the drop menu, but will not carry through and create an event to iCal. It's annoying in that many companies use the latter format in their communications. Any workaround?

There is another problem I have found.
I have my computer set in international settings formats to show the date in the "English format"
January 4th 2007 is 4/1, however an entry in mail 4/1 is put into iCal on the first of April!
I found this out after looking for a meeting I knew I had put in for next week.
beware, can this bug be fixed?

I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS5 and let it sync with my Macbook and now all my iPhone iCal entries are gone. How can I get my iCal events back on my iPhone?

I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS5 and let it sync with my Macbook (running Lion) and now all my iPhone iCal entries are gone. How can I get my iCal events back on my iPhone?

Me too! Help anyone?

Ical not showing events from mail

I have upgraded to Lion OS X from my Snow Leopard install. I have since updated to 10.7.2. I was going to give Apple's Mail client another try since upgrading to Lion. It's working fine so far, except that I have a problem with events not being being added to iCal.
In the Mail program I have a time for a webinar that I was added to iCal, when I click on the date link, I'm asked it I want to add to iCal. I can see a mini view of a calendar in the Mail program with the event added. (Via Image: SS002.png)
But when I open up iCal to check that it was added. I don't see anything added for that day. (Via Image: SS001.png) Even though the Mail program says that it's there. (Image: SS002.png
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had this exact problem today but worked out that in my case I needed to hit Edit and then change the Calendar from my Gmail calendar to iCloud/iCal. As soon as I did that it appeared in iCal instantly.

I just installed Yosemite. Notifications Center will not show ICal entries that were on my ICal at time of installation. How do I get events to show in Notification Center?

How do you date and time stamp iCal entries? We share an event calendar and need to know when a new event was entered into iCal.

BKBK,
Thank you for your response. That does adequately cover the
client-originated sessions, but still leaves the ability I am
looking for unavailable.
It did serve to definitively answer my most pressing
question, however, with this statement:
Note: ColdFusion cannot create a session if an initiator
application uses a SendGatewayMessage method to start an
interaction with a client, such as an SMS user. In this case, the
sending code must keep track (for example, in a database) of the
messages it sends and their destinations. When a response event
arrives, it can look up the origniatorID to determine whether it
was in response to an outgoing message.
I will play around with the Application scope to see if there
might be a workable solution there.

Automatically create iCal entry with an email alarm from a Mail.app email?

Hi..
Hope you can help?
I want to set up iCal/Mail.app so that it automatically creates a new iCal entry in a specific calendar when an email is received that contains a date in the body of the message...
Is there a way of doing this with Automator?
This reason I am asking is that I am trying to put a link on my online store where people can click for a gift reminder email that will be sent to them on a date they specify in the body of their email.
The link could pop-up a new email window pre-filled with Subject: 'Gift Reminder' and addressed to '[email protected]' They would be instructed to enter a single date in the text area and press Send...
Then, when Mail.app receives the email, it would move it to a Folder called 'Gift Reminders' and automatically set up a new iCal entry that has an alarm to email the sender on that date with an email containing the Subject 'The Gift Reminder you Requested' etc and some different text in the body... It would be great if this could be set up to repeat annually also as the gift reminder is primarily for birthday gifts...
Id there an Automator script / plug-in or way of making this happen??
Any help greatly appreciated, though my knowledge of scripts / Automator etc is quite limited I am willing to try out any suggestions!
Thanks,
Jon.

Tried a restart which showed 2183 emails unable to move which is kind of bonkers and had to quit Mail> restart and moving emails from search now appears to be working. Apple owes me about 500 hours of my life so far with Mavericks!

Why are 2 identical events created in iCal on my mac when I add event from mail ?

why are 2 identical events created in iCal on my mac and not on my iPhone when I add event from mail created on a pc using OUTLOOK ?

Nobody knows? Not even administrators?
Please it would be really nice to have help on that to take all the benefit of the remote app.
Thank you very much in advance.

I'm trying to find when I actually created an entry/event in my iCal.

So you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud? That message sounds like you did not. Are you using the same Apple ID used in Settings>iCloud on the iPod?
- To find wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order
Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
- iOS: How to find the serial number, IMEI, MEID, CDN, and ICCID number

Creating iCal entries based on date/time appearing in text on any app

One thing I like about iCal's integration with Apple Mail is that the mail client is able to sense dates and times in email messages and then allow you to create iCal entries. But it seems that this date and time sensing is only limited to Apple Mail when technically users could potentially want to create iCal entries when a date and time appears on any app, such as on a web page in a web browser, in a PDF, or a word processing document. It seems logical then for iCal to be integrated with OS X's text services, so that at least if I highlighted a date and time, I could right click on it and bring up an option to create an iCal entry on based on that date and time.
Does anyone know if this feature is natively supported (for which I have yet to enable), or is there a third party app out there that will allow me to do this?

Just a quick update. I tried the first two -- text2cal and Calendar Creator -- and they don't seem to work on OS X 10.6.6.
However, on another note, I found some discussion regarding Snow Leopard's enhanced data detectors being natively able to do what I've been looking for. But I just can't seem to get it to work on my computer:
"Enhanced Data Detectors now link dates, times and other items found in text to actionable items in other applications, like iCal. For example, a drop-down menu that automatically appears when you select the time or date parts in a text enables you to create a new iCal event from a selected date or show the date in iCal."

Microsoft Exchange Categories in iCal, Address Book and Mail

I work in a Microsoft environment with my MacBook Pro and would like to use iCal, Address Book and Mail as my default applications rather than Microsoft Oulook 2011, however, there is not support for the Microsoft Exchange Categories to be replicated into the various Apple applications. This results in my address book not to differentiate any longer from my contact categories stored on the Exchange server, nor my calendar. Categories can be created in iCal and other Apple applications but it then requires for the event or contact to be duplication "On my Mac" which makes me loose my synchronization with other systems. Any idea about to fix that?

Same issue here. I would love to migrate to iCal but the lack of support for categories is a limiting factor. Same applies to Contacts.

E71 cannot add iCal entries to Calendar

Whenever I or someone else forwards to me an iCal calendar entry, as an email attachment, I get an error message, from my Nokia E71, when I attempt to open the iCal entry and add it to the native calendar.
Here's what happens:
Email is received.
Open attachment
Message is "Calendar entry Add to Calendar?"
I select "Yes"
Message is "Calendar entry Failed to add to calendar"
the iCal attachments are coming from Microsoft Outlook.
Is there a problem with the iCal format, being sent from Outlook, or with the E71's ability to read the iCal file and add it to its calendar?
If not iCal, is there another way to send calendar entries from Outlook?

Looks like it's an Outlook 2007 issue rather than Nokia....

I used to be able to attach a document to an iCal entry. After the latest update, it appears this option has been removed. How can I add an attachment now? Thanks!

Hi Dan,
Yes, iCal 4.0.4 (1395.7). In edit mode, the 'attachments' option is between 'Invitees' and 'URL' (see below). As I said this is for calendars under On My Mac, I suspect you are not seeing this as your event is on MobileMe.
Best wishes
