ICal Event Invitations Not Appearing in iCal Notifications

When my wife sends me an iCal invitation from her iMac to my PowerPC Mac, the invitations arrive in my Mail inbox but not in my iCal Notifications.
My "Me" card lists my three email addresses.
My "General" Mail preference, 'Add invitations to iCal:', is "Automatically".
My "Advanced" iCal preference, 'Automatically retrieve invitations from Mail", is checked.
Any tips or suggestions? I seem to recall getting this to work by setting the Mail preference which automatically enables the iCal preference then manually disabling the iCal preference while ensuring the Mail preference is still set to Automatically but that's such a kludge.

figured it out. it was a time zone syncing problem.

Events do not appear on ical

I recently upgraded to snow leopard to comply with Mobileme mail syncing. I'm receiving invites but they do not appear on my iCal. I have to manually save the ics and import into calendar. This used to be automatic . . . . What am I missing?

I have been having an issue with iCloud for several months. I add events to my iPhone5 which do not appear in the iCloud, or propogate to my MacBook and iPad.

MobileMe iCal event invite sent to iCloud iCal not showing up

My husband is still on MobileMe. I am on iCloud. He sent me 2 calendar event invites. I got the email but they are not showing up in my calendar for me to accept. I don't see them on my iPhone, my iPad, my desktop, or iCloud.com. This used to work fine when we ere both on Mobile
invitees
You.
To reply to this invitation, use Calendar on iPhone or iPod touch (with iOS4), iCal on a Mac (with Mac OS X 10.6.4), or visit
me.com and use the calendar web application on a Mac or PC.

I have a very similar issue.
Problem:
I cannot receive iCal invitations on my iPhone 4GS from other icloud users. I just receive an email with an .ics file, but not a nice red icon on my calendar in iOS.
I also cannot send an invitation to any other icloud user. (eg my wife)
My setup:
iPhone 4GS with iCloud [email protected] address. iOS 5 - works perfect (Wife's iphone)
iPhone 4GS with iCloud [email protected] address. iOS 5 - NO Calendar inviations possible. (My iphone)
Ruled out:
Hardware issue (tested) Its just my account that is not working.
Possible issue:
AppleID error - My Apple ID seems to be corrupt. (whatever that means)
I believe strongly that this an issue at Apple. something with their mobileMe/iCloud sync.
Status:
Since 2 weeks in contact with Apple Support, no solution yet.
They just let me do some tests that i already conducted before.

In mail "create new ical event" has stopped appearing in ical

Please help! I love clicking on data in email to bring up the "Create New iCal Event" box, and using it to put new events into my ical calendar. But recently when I "Create New iCal Event" from an email, and click "add to iCal" the window closes but the event doesn't show up in iCal. I can still add events by clicking on a calendar date in iCal and typing them in, but the link between Mail and iCal seems to be broken. How can I fix it?
Could this be related to how Firefox recently broke? Foxfire will not save bookmarks any more, either, I click on "Bookmarks," then "Bookmark this page". The window closes but the bookmark does not save. Also, the forward/backward browser arrows no longer work on Foxfire.

Could you be more specific? What happens (or fails to happen?)

All day events do not appear in iCal 5.0

Even if I enter a new all day event in iCal, it disappears right away, but it is still synced to MobileMe. So on my iPhone/iPad, they're all there. but iCal stays "clear"... anyone having the same issue?

Hi,
Have you made sure that Show All-Day Events under iCal's View menu is checked?

.vcs event not appearing in ICal

I downloaded an event that came in a .vcs format. When I open it and add it to my ICal it is not appearing in ICal. Can anyone help?

Where did the original VCS file come from? Some systems will create files, but in a format that doesn't match Apple's format (or the standard).
Specifically, if there is a space between the colon and the data value in the vcs file, then ical will complain:
Download the VCS file attachment to your desktop. Double-click on it, ical should see it, but then complain. Check "console.log" via the Console application, and you'll likely see an error like:
2006-11-02 11:21:27.256 iCal[725] Incorrect version for vCal file. Got ' 1.0'
2006-11-02 11:21:27.256 iCal[725] Fatal vCalendar parser error !
Note the space prior to the 1.0 in the error message. Technically, that's a bug in whatever software which produced the VCS message, as there is not supposed to be a space (IIRC), but why ical is so picky as to not allow/ignore the space, I don't know.
Using TextEdit (or similar) you can remove the spaces after the colons in the file, and it will import successfully (unless you're seeing a different problem).
I have no solution for doing this in any automatic way -- anyone have suggestions?

Not receiving email notifications of iCal event invitations from other parties.

I am not receiving emails for iCal event invitations from other parties, but the invitations ARE in my iCal Inbox. I don't use iCal often, so I never proactively go in to check my Inbox there, but rather have always depended on receiving the email notification of an event invite to know to add it to my iCal. I can SEND invitations to others successfully with other parties receiving MY email notifications, I'm just not receiving them via email.
I've now missed two very important meetings because I never received the email invitations to add an event, which were the only forms of correspondence for both. Can anyone help me? Thank you!

Events received in Mail not appearing in iCal

My fiancee is having some problems with iCal. When she receives an event it used to (and still does on my machine) appear in iCal automatically, whether she had read the email or not. Now, to get an event from Mail into iCal she has to open the attachment.
Does anyone know what's going on and how to fix it?
Thanks!

Is she receiving them as iCal event invitations from an iCal user?
If so, for me anyway, these do show up directly in iCal without opening them in Mail. And as you're aware, they are counted up with the little red number on the iCal icon down in the Dock.
Now when I get invitations for my iCal from OUTLOOK (non-iCal, basically) users, this never happens. I have to explicitly open the invite in Mail, double-click the icon to get it over into iCal, etc.
If you're talking about pure iCal-to-iCal invites, I agree, her system is not working as mine does or I would expect it to. Maybe take a look into iCal -> Preferences? --DG

In contacts there is the possibility to add a new event, as the birthdays, but they do not appear in iCal. Is there any way to make that possible? It is normal to have a person with his birthday, anniversary and others key dates you want to link to him.

In contacts there is the possibility to add a new event, as the birthdays, but they do not appear in iCal. Is there any way to make that possible? It is normal to have a person with his birthday, anniversary and others key dates you want to link to such person, but the only one shows up is the birthday. How to be able to show all those dates linked to people in the agenda in the iCal?
Thanks

Hi,
I sugggest you try my application, Dates to iCal. It is shareware with a 2 week trial period.
Dates to iCal 2 is a replacement for Apple's birthday calendar for iCal. It has a range of features to allow the user to choose what, and what not, to sync to iCal from Address Book.
As well as automatically syncing birthday dates from Address Book, Dates to iCal 2 can sync anniversary and custom dates. It can set up to five alarms for each date in iCal and can also set different alarms for birthdays and anniversaries. It allows the option of only syncing from one Address Book group. This application also allows for the titles of the events sent to iCal to be modified to the user's preference.

Event created on iPhone does not appear in iCal

When I create an event on my phone and sync, it does not appear in iCal. Events created on my laptop sync without issue. Contacts sync both ways, but calendar events do not go from the phone to the computer. I am not using MobileMe to sync, simply using the USB cable.
I have tried the following to resolve my issues:
* Make sure iTunes and iPhone are up to date
* Make sure all calendars are set to sync with iTunes
* Try different USB ports on the laptop
* Restart phone and computer
* Reset sync history in iSync and re-sync
* Follow directions in this support article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627 to do a full reset of sync history and re-sync
Yet after trying all of those solutions, I still cannot sync events created on my phone to my laptop. Does anyone out there know of anything else I can try that might work?
Thank you,
Cameron

After a trip to the genius bar, I found how to solve this problem, at least for me:
0) Plug in iPhone
1) Start iCal
2) Export all calendars (File -> Export)
3) Quit iCal
4) Delete all calendars from ~/Library/Calendars
5) Start iCal
6) Import all exported calendars
7) Start iTunes, configure syncing to overwrite calendars on phone
8) Sync iPhone

Since upgrading to Lion, iCal event invitations are not working well.

Since upgrading to Lion last week, I am having problems with sending iCal event invitations to large groups of people (say 10 people or more). Although my iMac, iPhone, and iPad iCals show that invitations have been sent, only a few of those invited have actually received event invite emails.
Has anyone else experienced this? If so, any insight into the problem or solution?
Thanks in advance.

If you want.
or maybe install Snow Leopard using the disc it came on with my Mac and just set it up from a Time Machine Backup on my external hard drive (since it works under SL)?
Did you install Lion on an empty partition, or did you upgrade Snow Leopard? If you upgraded, I'd not recommend erasing it, since your backups are apparently gone. It's doubtful Snow Leopard will recognize them.
It's not just backups on the drive either, there are other important things on there, so why won't they show?
Mixing Time Machine backups and other data is not a good idea. See #3 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. It sounds like the whole disk is corrupted.
I just really don't understand how this happened. Could it not be an issue with WD because they haven't issued firmware to support Lion yet?
If this is a simple external HD, connected by USB or FireWire, no, unless you installed some of WD's software on it. That shouldn't prevent it from being seen at all, but anything's possible.

IPhone Events Not Appearing on iCal . . .

Well, here's something interesting.
After updating to the newest version of iTunes and 1.1.4. I lost syncronization of events created on the iPhone to iCal. I know there are several posts on this topic. I've tried all those suggestions with no luck. But here's the interesting part of my issue . . .
After syncing the iPhone to my iMac, iCal does not show the iPhone created events. I decided to sync my iMac calendars to .Mac. Then I synced the .Mac calendars to my MacBook Pro. Viola, the iPhone created events (which never appeared in iCal on my iMac) did appear on iCal on my MacBook Pro. Weird, huh?
I thought it might be a corrupted plist on my iMac. I deleted com.apple.ical.iplist, but still no change in the display. Any ideas anyone?

I have the same problem happening. And I sync to my iMac but also have a MBP, so I tried what you did. When the sync app on my MBP informed me of changes I clicked on the details button, and I saw it was going to try and add the iPhone calendar that I specified for events created on the phone. It was also going to add two events from my phone that I wasn't seeing on my iMac. So I proceeded with the sync. But after it was done, iCal on the MBP did not show me the iPhone calendar nor the events that were created on the iPhone.
I don't have any ideas other than finding out if you have submitted this information to Apple as a bug report?

Time is not appearing in iCal

Hi;
I am facing unique problem and i don't know how to fix it. In my ical, time is not appearing in the calendar for all the views(Day,Week, Month). Rather only Sat is appearing on the left side bar. In the Sidebar, 2010, All Day, then Sat is appearing in the place of Time. Which leads to lots of problems for me. I can't sent an invite for a particular of time. Even old events does not show time.
Please let me know on how to fix this issue.
Regards,
Soumit.

I've got this problem as well. My left hand column (to the left of the days in Week view or to the left of the day in Day view) is just white with no hour references.
In Week view, for example, it's a white column with (in this case) '2010', then a keyline, then 'all-day', then a thick grey line, then just white space where you'd expect to see 1.00am, 2.00am etc.
I've just had a Leopard (10.5.8) install from Tiger (10.4.11) and it's been like this since start-up.
Thanks

Wants to delete my contacts + double posting iCal events and not syncing

Hi everyone!
I hope you can help me.
I have an iPhone + MacBook + iMac and use MobileMe as well. My iphone was full which resulted in it not syncing with my computers. I double checked the settings and saw the "Info syncing" had been turned off for some reason, which I then turned on, and I checked the MobileMe settings as well.
So the situation is this now:
My iCal events are not getting synced to my computer from iPhone or MobileMe.
My iPhone has "double up" some events, meaning that I write them into the phone or my computer, they get uploaded to MobileMe, then synced back to my iPhone and thus appearing twice. I think these are the "old" events that were writing in before my MobileMe account was set up for syncing.
iSync wants to delete 195 contacts on my computers, without modifying or adding any. I did this with my iMac and sure enough some 195 contacts were deleted! Aw! How do I get these back?
My MacBook keeps prompting me with the some message, saying that syncing with MobileMe will delete 195 contacts, even though I have all these contacts present on my iPhone and my computer now.
I do not understand what is happening. I can send the contacts to my iMac and add them again, but I am afraid that these will then appear twice as well. Why can does calender on my iPhone show both the ones I write into the phone and from MobileMe? Shouldn't these be "synced" via MobileMe, so all I have to do is set it up and it should take care of itself? And why oh why does it want to delete 195 contacts? I think these are all my contacts apart from the 5 most recent which I wrote into the iPhone.
Can anyone help me? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!
Mc

Hi,
I'm afraid you're asking in the wrong place. This is the iSync forum - which is for syncing contact and calendars to non-Apple mobile phones only. iSync doesn't sync between Macs or with MobileMe.
MobileMe syncing is handled by *MobileMe Sync*, and the forum for that is here:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=957
However, you may need to reset your sync data. The process for that is described in this Apple Support Document:

Why are all-day calendar events not appearing in the Notification Center?

I've noticed that all-day Calendar events do not appear in the Notfication Center in iOS. This is a glaring omission and I'm not sure if it's related to a bug or is intentional but it should be fixed right away. Why in the world would you leave out an all-day event from the Notification Center? What if I had a wedding anniversary or some other important event to remember?

IOS / is no out for a couple of weeks and Apple seems to be reluctant to fix this problem. As a business device it becomes rediculous to be not able to see my calender entries anymore in the notification center. Is Apple now leaving the business arena and focusing on toys ?
