Ical invitation e-mail language

Ladies and Gentlemen:
If I enter an appointment into iCal, iCloud sends out an invitiation E-Mail which the partner has to confirm by clicking the accepted button or the decline button etc...
This invitation is sent out in the same language as the computer uses where ical runs i suppose.
Is it possibel to change the language of this invitataion E-Mail?
Thank you very much.
Kind regards

Yeah i just finished chatting with Adobe support. Same thing. They will get back to me for a solution. It's a problem due to domain name. Because i tried to send invitation to hotmail adress and it worked, but no for a @domain.com

Accepting Ical invites - in mail or Ical?

Using 10.7.2, Icloud and latest versions.
When I accept an ical invite trough Ical the Inviter will not receive my answer but if I answer through mail he gets the answer.
I would like to be able to answer directly in Ical - when I press accept no response is sent/received.
The Inviter is using 10.7.2, Icloud and latest versions.
/e

I have the same problem.
I managed to get from Palm Desktop to Ical by going through Tiger and the new isync. This works fine except when I invite a Windows user (outlook) to an ical event. When she tries to open my invitation, she gets a message saying something like "calendar error, go from a lunar to a Gregorian calendar."
OK, this is very Microsoft and very funny but any ideas on how to manage this?
From Windows to Mac, it works well.
Thanks

Unreadable iCal invitations in Mail

Suddenly iCal (or Mail app) has started to generate unreadable email invitations — event invitation text is black, and it is placed on the black background. In the end there is one black line across the screen with no visible text, and iCal calendar attachment below it. Why suddenly text background color has changed to black and how to get it back to white? First I noticed it recently when I still had Mac OS X 10.6.3, and after 10.6.4 update nothing's changed. (Or is it Safari 5 that screwed up everything? Looking at other posts here in Mail section it seems it could be related to Safari 5.)
Here's code from the email:
<html><head></head><body style=3D"word-wrap: break-word; =
-webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; =
"><div><div style=3D"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: =
0px; margin-left: 0px; background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "><font =
face=3D"Helvetica" size=3D"3" color=3D"#000000" style=3D"font: 12.0px =

Update: it seems that Safari 5 is to be blamed for this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3385

Seeing the same thing here.... iCal linked to Exchange 2007 server. Worked fine in 10.6.0 & and 10.6.1, but stopped working in 10.6.2.

Force CalDAV calendar in iCal to send meeting invites via Mail

A handful of people are experiencing issues sending out meeting invite emails via a Google Apps (CalDAV) calendar that is setup in iCal. Meetings are showing up on invitees calendars, but they are not receiving email notifications about them.
Thread on that topic here: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Calendar/thread?tid=368ec40a6bdd7bb8&hl=en
and here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2707217&tstart=0
*So, my question is this*: Is there a way to force Mail.app to send out a meeting invitation of a CalDAV calendar that is setup in iCal, instead of using whatever system the CalDAV calendar uses (in my specific case, Google Apps). My assumption is that iCal uses the Mail.applescript or Mail.scpt file that is inside the iCal package (iCal > Show Package Contents > Resources > Mail.applescript) when sending out an invite from a local calendar. Any way to force a CalDAV calendar to use that script?

I had that problem too.
I changed my mail preferences "Add invitations to iCal" from Automatically to Never and that seems to work for me.
Hope that helps

ICal.app doesn't grab events/invitations from Mail.app

Morning.
My colleagues are using MS Outlook and send me invitations. I receive their emails with ICS attachments. In iCal.app I've activated »Preferences > Advanced > Automatically request invitations from Mail.app«. (I use a German GUI, therefore I do not exactly the terminology on an English GUI.)
But iCal.app does not grab and display such invitations.
What's wrong? What can I do to solve this serious problem?
TIA and kind regards, Friedrich

In fact the feed is at http://bongqiuqiu.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default
The oldest post in the feed is November 10, and Mail is showing back as far as that - a total of 25 posts.
There may be older posts on the website, but many blog creation services limit the number of entries shown in the feed, moving older ones to an archive page and out of the page once that limit is reached. I don't know about Blogger, but I would assume that this is the case with this feed. You can expect the November 10 entry to disappear once a new one is added.

ICal invites coming as e-mail attachments

Hi all,
My wife and I both have two AppleIDs. One that is used for iTunes and AppStores. The other is our MobileMe (now iCloud.com) e-mail address, which is used for all iCloud services. We both have OSX and iOS.
According to:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895
this is supported scenario and has worked correctly for for quite some time, with iCal invites appearing in the iCal apps, either on OSX or on iOS. We are both on OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.4 and iOS 6.1.3.
However, in the recent past (I can't lock in a specific time frame), iCal invites that we send to each other are now comig as e-mails with reply buttons and .ics attachments, rather than within iCal, either on OSX or on iOS.
When logging in to the AppleID site, I note that for my iTunes/AppStores ID, my me.com e-mail is listed as the primary address and is indicated as "Verified", with a green check mark. If I login in to the AppleID site with my me.com address, my me.com e-mail is listed as the primary address, however, it is not indicated as "Verified" and I don't see a way to do that. Presumably only one AppleID can have the verified status?
Prior posts on the matter suggest to be sure that there are no secondary addresses associated with the AppleIDs and there are none for either of us.
While this scenario has worked for some time, as a result of this new behavior, I am now wondering if having two different AppleIDs is the problem, or perhaps that both AppleIDs have the same primary e-mail address is the problem.
Should I have both of us redo our iCloud logins on OSX and iOS using the iTunes/AppStore AppleID instead of the me.com e-mail AppleID? Presumably, if that is a solution, I will need to be sure that we don't lose all of our synched data across our devices.
Does this scenario ring a bell with anyone and if so, did you find a solution?
Thanks,
Marc

I powered my iPad off, and started it back up. Works fine now. huh.

Why can't I accept mail invites in iCal sent to Mail?

Ok I'm sure there is an easy answer...this is driving me batty...
I get lots of iCal invites that are sent to my email address.
When I open iCal, very few of them appear in the "Notifications" area to allow me to say Maybe/Decline/Accept
The way I have to accept most of them is to:
1. go to email for the invite
2. click "Accept" (opens a new browser tab)
3. within browser tab click on "Download .ics" (Add to iCal), which opens a download window
4. in download window select "Open with... iCal"
5. asks which calendar I want to add it to (like "Home"), so I hit OK
then it adds it to my iCal
I get tons of iCal invites...is there a way just to let me just accept them from within iCal?
I don't have a Cloud subscription of anything (if that matters).
Thanks all-

same problem, driving me nuts...
i get calendar invites in mail, can be from any calendar, Ical, iCloud, Google, any... none get auto invited in to iCal/Calendar [whatever its called now]. They used to... dont now..
on Mountain Lion, everything is up to date, settings are correct [i think].
does this have anything to do with everyone elses iCloud invites problem? seems to be a general iCloud invites problem but dont know if this is linked to it.
I have to manually add the data from my invite into Calendar at the moment as a cant drag it as it makes the invite where i drag it and not thr date it should be, i cant open the ICS as it opens Entourage...
Help...

Lotus Notes (Domino) Meeting Invitations from Mail to iCal

I use an iMac at work and a MacBook Pro at home. They recently switched to a Notes-based calendar program at work, and since I don't have the Notes client installed on either machine (someone from our IT department has spent about four hours trying to install it on the iMac with no success) and the web application only works with IE 6, and there is no provision for synching the calendar with my PDA, when I heard that the e-mail meeting invitations could be imported into iCal, I was all over that.
When I opened iCal on the iMac I found that there was a "Work" calendar, and iCal's "Automatically retrieve invitations from Mail" box was checked, there were no entries in the Work calendar--or any other calendar.
When I initially looked into it, I found several threads (e.g. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5186410) in the iCal forum about time zones not being imported correctly (I wish my problems were that minor!) from Lotus Notes meeting invitations. But these threads showed vCal messages and mentioned error dialogs. I hadn't seen any dialogs, and my meting invitations are just plain text messages like this:
======================
Meeting Invitation: Norman Conquest has invited you to a meeting
Meeting Details
Subject: Let's Kill an Hour, Shall We?
Begins: 11/26/07 9:00:00 AM
Ends: 11/26/07 10:00:00 AM

Required Invitees: Upton O'Good, Natalie Attired, Hugh Mility, Justin Case
Optional Invitees:

click the link below to view your calendar
======================
So I just assumed I was foiled again because the messages were not in the right format.
Later I happened to open my MacBook Pro, and, much to my surprise, I found that a small number of meetings had actually found their way into iCal, and in at least one case I know of, one has actually been rescheduled! I could hardly contain myself.
At first I thought the small number of meetings was simply due to the fact that I receive most of my work e-mail at work, on the iMac, so only those meeting invitations that I happened to open for the first time on my MacBook Pro had been imported. However, this turned out not to be the case, as I have observed many cases in which I have received new, unread meeting invitations on my MacBook Pro which have not been entered in iCal.
But what's really got me is that this whole process is so inaccessible! You'd think there would be preferences where you could tell Mail what kind of invitations to look for and tell iCal which calendar to put them in. But no. There's just one checkbox to turn the process on or off. You just check it and cross your fingers.
Just to deepen the mystery a little bit, I do know of one other Mac user who says his invitations are being reliably entered into iCal, and he can even reply to them. When I asked him for details he told me he just turned it on and it worked.
Is there anyone out there who can at least shed a little light on what I've observed, if not help me get this process working at least quasi-reliably? Is this process working for anybody else out there?

Ical invitation mails with cryptic sender mail address

Hi everybody,
why do my ical invitation mail have a cryptic sender mail address so that no reply can be send successfully.
Sender mail address look like "<account name> <calenderserver+53b1b7f5-5277-4fb2-8e4e-c244cd7fc4cb@<domain>>". The part in bold typo is added automatically by ical server and depends on the ical event.
Looking forward to Your help.
Regards,
Christian

Am I correct to assume that you also have mail running on this same server?
If so, open up your Server Admin, go to Mail, then click on the Maintenance tab and look in the Accounts pane to see what user account that particular UUID# belongs to and you will have your answer

Meeting invitations from Mail not making it to iCal

I haven't been able to have meeting requests automatically transfer over to iCal.
I have my Mail settings set to automatically send meeting invites to iCal, and most invitations come from people that are present in my address book.
I've been on hold with Apple Care for over an hour, and haven't had any luck other than being asked to check the settings above.
Any help you can provide would be much appreciated.
Thanks

I should clarify that.
Lotus Notes Meeting Invitations aren't being imported into iCal +with any degree of reliability+, and the more I look into this, the more mysterious it seems to get.

ICal invites are not received by some people (I know why, but Apple won't fix it)

I switched to icloud a while back and have the maddening problem of SOME people not receiving invites, and have discovered what causes it (at least in my case):
If the user you are sending to has an itunes (or apple id) account with that email as the login (and that email is NOT an icloud email) they will never receive the iCal invite! Instead it gets routed to their (non setup) icloud account. If they start using icloud for their calendars with this same external email address as login, they will receive them there (directly on their calendar if it is setup). Apple refuses to forward it to their real email address, the one we are sending it to. I have reported it to Apple several times but they are not inclined to fix it, probably because they want to force external users to use icloud. This is mega frustrating. Many of my friends do not receive invites, forcing me to use Google calendar for events with those friends. I prefer the general interface and look of icloud/ical invites, but I need to be able to actually invite people!

Not for me, but let me verify the following type scenario with you:
1. Your person to invite has a gmail address ([email protected])
2. That gmail address is their Apple ID/iTunes login name (this is the most important piece)
3. They may have some icloud service on (like note syncing) but do not use icloud calendaring or mail (or may have signed up for mail but never check it)
4. Your icloud/ical invite arrives properly in their gmail inbox (at [email protected])?
Is all the above true? For me, the above scenario results in no email being received at the address I sent it to (number 4), it gets routed/lost in icloud if that is their Apple ID login.
Like I said, I do not have the issue you have, all my invites are received regardless of the email provider and user ID's I just send to the correct address and that's it. Frankly if what you said was common the service would be useless, but it works for millions. The problem is at your end, not everybody's.
The login name is just a text string to iCloud, not an address.

ICal Attachments in Mail no longer Loading in iCal

I have iCal linked to my Google Calendar, and it has been running smoothly ever since upgrading to Snow Leopard.
However, as of this week, I can no longer accept invitations from people sending me iCal events in Mail. It used to be that I would just double-click on the attached event and it would show up in iCal. Now I double-click on the attached event, iCal opens, and nothing happens.
This only affects Google Calendars in iCal. It works perfectly for any Calendars on my Mac. I suspect it has to do with the recent update to 10.6.2.
Has anyone else experienced this, or have any solutions?

Seeing the same thing here.... iCal linked to Exchange 2007 server. Worked fine in 10.6.0 & and 10.6.1, but stopped working in 10.6.2.

I can no longer send iCal invitations. I have not changed any settings, passwords or email accounts. No idea what to do.

I can no longer send iCal invitations. I have not changed any settings, passwords or email accounts. No idea what to do.

Greetings,
Questions:
What happens when you put in an email address in an event? (Make sure the email address is also in your addressbook (Macintosh HD > Applications > Addressbook)
Are you using calendars that show up under "On My Mac" on the left hand side of iCal or are the calendars under a different heading?
Troubleshooting:
Make sure that you can send / receive email in the Apple Mail program.
Make sure that the email address in Mail > Preferences > Accounts is also on your Addressbook card:Go to Addressbook > Card > Go to My Card -- The email address you are using to send receive messages on your computer should be on this card.
If that doesn't take care of it:
1. First make an iCal backup: Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
2. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
3. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
4. Launch iCal and test.
If the issue persists:
1. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
--- NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
3. Launch iCal and test.
Hope that helps!

Removing email address from auto populate box in ICal invites

I deleted a contact/email address from my address book but his name/email still shows up in ical as choice for invites. His address is not in my mail's "previous recipients" list and is removed from contacts. How do I stop it from being a choice to populate in my ical invite?

Nekkid emperor: the iCal vs. Mail "thing"

By now I feel like I'm crazy. Please tell me that I'm not the only person who can see there's some kind of emperor's new clothes thing going on wrt iCal's handing of invitations from Mail.
The memories are shrouded but I recall a time (before Tiger? Dunno, it's too murky) that when I opened Mail.app containing an invite from an Exchange user, a little .ics file appeared in the message, I'd click it, it'd open iCal, and I'd accept. It Just Worked. Let me put that out there again: It. Just. Worked.
Sometimes it's the "me card" thing, sometimes it's the "events turn into all text" thing, sometimes it's the "can't change events" thing. I've seen the suggestions here and at Macosxhints.com, the scripting suggestions, the open it in text edit and fix the raw file suggestions, and I feel like I'm going to burst. They boil down to the same problem: iCal doesn't Just Work with events someone sends us in email.
Surely these do not represent the way our beloved Apple intends us to use these two applications?
Am I missing something? Even on these forums I can't seem to find the message where someone says "this is a known issue." Am I searching poorly? How could they break something that seems like such a natural and then not issue a fix for it for over a year? Open. Click. Accept. Forget Until iCal Reminds Me. Or to put it another way:
Open. Click. Accept. Trust.
That's it. Isn't that what you need? What we all sort of expect? That's not what it's doing now and I'm not alone.
To paraphrase Will Farrell's Mugatu: The bug has only one look for Christ's sake! .ICS Attachment? Me Card? Accept Invites? They're the same bug! Doesn't anybody notice this? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!

No, no, I got it. I don't mean I can't find the date on which to drop it. I know the app will file it in the correct place.
I mean I don't know what date it's going to when I let it go, and if that date appears outside whatever view setting I'm using to look at my calendar, that is when I have to go play hide & seek.
I mean, seriously, wouldn't it make more sense If it opened a dialog box instead, to alert the user when a date was being requested? Offer them a look at the date in question, so they can decide if they want or are able to throw it on their calendar? Instead of assuming that by interacting with this heretofore unreadable calendar object you intend to accept it? Mind you the .ics icon does not tell the user what date is being requested--Mail does not communicate the date to the user unless and until it's viewed through iCal, and in the workaround you suggest, it assumes the user doesn't mind blindly throwing darts at their calendar. Open Drag Trust? The lack of an inspect-and-accept step in there disregards the user's needs.
I'm not a UI expert by any means, but this seems poorly executed. I appreciate this conversation. But it seems like we're talking about nuances of the problem that aren't the whole problem. I do feel like we're wandering in the wilderness together a little bit, and arguing about whether that's rain falling on us or ...I don't know, I guess I'm saying it's urine? Wow, this analogy is regrettable now that it's reached the conclusion. Either way, we're getting wet.
