ICloud iCal invitations are sent out in German

My iCloud calendar invitations are sent out in German even though my icloud.com account settings say the account is managed in English. What can I do?
where is the email generated? within mail? within ical? I'm running an English version of Mac OS X 10.7.3 Lion. Mail is in English.
Could this be because the account was originally a mac.com then a mobileme and now an iCloud account. Some sort of legacy information on the account that there just isn't an option to change anymore?!
Grasping at straws here. Beyond annoying!

Found the answer - sorry guys!

Re: how to change language for ical server invitations?
Jan 23, 2012 9:43 AM (in response to philippergo)
I think I have the solution to this issue.
What Happened to me:
When I send invitations to my friends, they received the invitations in Japanese (I was in Japan for 2 years, that's when I created the MobileMe account, perhaps it is related).
I changed the language of iCloud (in User Name -> Preferences, after signing in intohttp://www.icloud.com). The language was already "English".
But the problem persisted:
My Solution:
Go to: https://appleid.apple.com, (Manage Your Account, once signed in, go to "Language & Preferences")
There, you can type in the language for your inviations (English). Check the primary and the alternate mail addresses just in case. Sometimes, if the primary mail address is not iCloud or me.com, the invitations are not sent propperly.
After that, you can save your settings. The invitations are sent in English.
Problem solved on my side.

Why is iCloud sending iCal invitations in German?

I am running Lion set to English and iCal set to English. iCloud is configured for English.
Why is iCloud sending iCal invitations in German???

I think I solved it. My Macbook was set to delete items after 60 days. Grrrrr....

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 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.

Ical invitations not working, PLEEEEASE help! (long, sorry)

I have an iphone 4 running iOS 5.1. My husband has a 3GS running 5.x (as current as he can get it, not sure if it's 5.1 or not).
I have my original apple ID from years ago, which I use for just about everything - it is NOT an apple email address. Then I have the second mac.com apple ID I was forced to make.
Husband has a yahoo.com apple ID, and a me.com (which he never uses).
[Side note: WHY, OH WHY, won't Apple let us merge Apple IDs?? This is absurd!]
I have spent HOURS trying to troubleshoot my ical invitations, but can't figure it out.
When I invite him to an event from my phone-
If I invite his me.com address, he gets an alert in ical. When he accepts it, it appears in his calendar, and I get a notification (in iCal on my iMac, but NOT on my phone) that he accepted. ***THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD WORK***.
If I invite his yahoo address (the one he uses exclusively) he gets an email that he's been invited. If he accepts through email, I do not get a notification, but, if I look at the event details, it says he's accepted. BUT!!!!! The event DOES NOT SHOW UP IN HIS CALENDAR.
But, I can deal with that. As long as I invite his me.com address, it works as it should (except for me not getting the accept notification on my phone.)
Now, flip the tables.
He invites me:
He sends it to my me.com address- nothing happens. I do not get an alert in ical (on my phone OR my mac), and I do not get an email.
He sends it to my main (non apple) email- still nothing happens. Not via ical or email.
BUT- if he sends it to my WORK email (which is not in any way associated with any apple ID), i DO get an email. But, as above, if I accept it- he can see that I accepted, but, it does not appear in my calendar.
I've read some threads here implicating the email addresses associated with apple IDs. I went through all 4 of our apple IDs and made sure that all possible email addresses were "verified", so I'm not sure that's it. In fact the only email that worked at all for me was the one NOT associated. But that's crazy- that it will only work if an email is NOT linked to an apple ID? What?
I don't know why it works for him (sort of), but not for me! If anything I'd understand if the iphone 4 could accept invites but the 3GS couldn't, but it's the other way around!
I tried it about a million different ways this morning, and one thing I noticed:
when I invite his yahoo (and thus send an email) the from address was always crazy- NOT the default address in my email. Like an old obscure me.com alias that I don't use and have not registered anywhere. So, I would add that email to my apple ID. Eventually got all weird aliases linked to an apple ID. then it sent from my 'normal' mac.com address.
When he invites me (to my work address), the email says it's from his me.com, which is an account he doesn't even know he has, and doesn't use. he only created it because he HAD to.
Why on earth is this so difficult and confusing?
We're not using google calendars or any third party stuff. It's iphone to iphone. me.com to me.com.
Can anyone please help??

https://discussions.apple.com/message/17319571#17319571
instead of verifying email addresses associated with your appleID, try removing them.
I've read some of similar thread just now, and remove the associated email withing my apple ID
now, my friend can send invites to me ([email protected]) and i can reply within the ical and the event is created in the ical.
however, when she tried to send invites to my 2nd appleID (yahoo.com) i don't get anything.
I know this sounds very stupid. but at least i've got a temporary solutions.
hope this also works for you.
perhaps apple just us to use every service they've offer. there's too many ridiculous way to work in iCloud.
sometime i regret migrate to icloud. MobileMe was MUCH MUCH better in sync-ing

Calendar sending invites from Outlook instead of Mail

Hi everybody,
Running Macbook Pro 13" 2.6, 8 MB RAM, Mavericks OS.
I used to use Outlook for mail with the account setup through an Outlook Exchange server. I don't use this account anymore and now use mail. When I create a Calendar event and want to add invitees, it keeps trying to send the invite via Outlook instead of mail. I have removed all accounts from my Outlook account. I have tried to add my new email (Pop) to Calendar but it doesn't want to accept this option. How do I set it to send the invites from my new work email (Mac mail) instead of defaulting to Outlook?

Hi,
See here: http://www.zapptek.com/ical-mail/ .This page has not been updated in a while, but it may be worth emailing them to see if they have something that works for Outlook.
Best wishes

How do I send iCal invites on OS 10.6

How do I send iCal invites on OS 10.6

Seems Apple is making things more difficult with every OS update. Back in the day you used to be able to organize your applications instead of having them all in one folder. You used to have a lot more freedom. More and more it is just easier to use a third party app. So I'm gonna install Thunderbird until Apple comes up with an easy way to fix the mail app. it seems that eveything in help says you just gotta reinstall the system from scratch. I would rather just use an open source product that I can put into any forlder I want without having to worry about it screwing itself up. Had similar experience with Safari now it seems like it is time to get rid of Mail.

Possible to resend/forward an iCal invite?

Is it possible to resend/forward an iCal invite or add another contact without the invite being sent to everyone previously copied? When adding invitees, the only two options I see are Revert and Send and I believe this sends the invite to the whole list again. I also need to resend to some of the previously copied participants as they accidentally deleted it on their PCs and can't get it back.
Does anyone have experience with this?

If you forward a message that has the attachment, the attachment should also be on the forwarded email.
If you want to create a new message instead of using the forward command, open the email with the attachment in a separate Mail window. Create a new message. Drag the attachment from the original email's window to the new email's window.

How can I display special characters of NonEuropean languages (French, Italian, Spanish, German and Portuguese.) using import string mechanism

I would like to translate the User Interface of my application to French, Italian, Spanish, German and Portuguese.
When I put special characters in the import string file they showed up as ? (question mark)
The import strings file includes the following parameters for each string: font, text, size and style. (but no field for script)
In order to use a unicode font such as Arial I need to select a french script. But this option is not supported bu LabView (As far as I saw)
A) Is there a font which is directly German/ French etc and not regula font + script parameter?
B) Are there another required step
s for special characters support? (When I put speciual characters in the import string file the showed up as ? question mark)

This was discussed last week in this group- read the previous messages.
Look for the thread "Foreign Languages in Labview"
And recite the mantra
ActiveX is good
ActiveX is holy
All Hail Bill
Those who claim otherwise are heretics and not to be trusted
Actually, in this case the non-ActiveX suggestions may be good.

How to delete previous invitee from apple iCal invite list? When inviting "Joe" an old Email address shows up. This person is literally dead! (may he rest peacefull) and I can't find his Email address to delete anywhere. Not in my address book

When sending calendar invite to "invitee" an old address appears. This guy is literally dead (may he rest in peace) and has same first name as person I send to all the time. So "dead" guy always pops up. Can't find his address to delete anywhere -- not in previous recipients, not in my address book, does not "auto-populate" when I try to send an Email. Still shows up everytime I want to send iCal invite. Spooky. Help me delete this guy from my iCal invitee options so he can truly rest in peace. Thanks!

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?

ICal invitation replies don't add

Hi,
I can send out out iCal invitations just fine, but when the receiver respond with their calendard application, iCal does not seem to recognize it. I still have the questionmark on the left of each invitee's name.
The replies I get look fine, they are .ics files.
Neither does iCal automatically add these to my invitation, nor does anything happen if I double-click on the .ics file.
When the same people send me an invitation from their end, it works just fine, they get added automatically to my iCal.
So it's just their replies after I invited them to an event that don't seem to do anything.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Sascha

Reply acceptance has always been flaky for me. Snow Leopard behaves better, but not perfectly.
