Ical invitations not showing up in ical

ical invitations are not shwoing up in ical on mac or on ipad.

I don't seem to be getting iCal push notifications on my iOS devices and my Macs.  I have current versions of Lion (10.7.3) and iCal (5.0.2) and am using iCloud (@me.com) and the people that are sending me invites are using a variety of email accounts for their own iCloud accounts.  The point is that the invitations show up in the Calendar (outlined and background color of grey with the option to Accept or Decline) but they aren't pupulating in my "inbox" next to the "Calendar" button in the upper righthand corner.  Nor are they indicated on my iOS devices.  Both updated with the latest version of iOS 5.X.X. Anyone help?!

  • Why are my meeting invitations not showing up in iCal?

    I get invitations as .ics attachments but they neither get automatically inserted in iCal, offer me the opportunity to accept or decline, nor allow me to drag them into the iCal app.
    What's wrong and what can I do about it?

    Not only do the events not appear in iCal, but Mial moves the message to the trash when I click Accept. Locating the message in the trash and clicking Accept again will permanently delete the message from the trash. It should not do either of those things.
    If it helps, my office appears to use Exchange (grumble grumble).

  • Accepted invitations not showing in iCal, but do show in gCal

    I use Apple Mail & iCal as front-ends to Google Apps mail (gMail) & calendar (gCal). I am using the CalDAV interface to gCal. I have iCal set up to sync 1) with my gCal and 2) with 2 other gCals, of business associate, via iCal delegates. Both Mail and iCal are setup so that event (meeting) invitations receive via email and then accepted at placed into the iCal calendar that syncs with "my" gCal.
    The problem is that while all of the accepted invites show up as scheduled events in gCal (as viewed via the Google web interface) some these invites/ event do not show up in iCal. This is strange on two counts. First, it must be iCal that is "telling" gCal about the new events, via sync. Second, subsequent syncs between iCal and gCal still don't bring visibility to the event is iCal.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance with this problem.

    There are more than one Applications folders. At the root level of your system is an Applications folder for all users, where most installations go. Every user, including you, also has a separat Applications folder.
    Check all of them.

  • Suddenly, events entered in Calendar on iPhone are not showing up in iCal or iCloud

    Until late November, i had an iPhone 4s with iOS 5.   Then i got an iPhone 6 with iOS 8.  As previously, when i would enter an event in the Calendar, that data would also show up in my iCal calendar and on my iCloud calendar, until the last couple of days.  Now, new entries are not showing up on iCal or iCloud.  I encountered the problem that my iPhone, 64G, is being backed up to the iCloud and after two backups, taking up 2.4G each, my 5G of iCloud storage was used up.  I speculated that this was why my phone data stopped syncing to the other calendars on the computer and cloud, though i did not know for sure.  I deleted one of the two back ups and am about to delete the other one.  I have never had this problem of running out of iCloud storage on my other phone.  According to Settings>iCloud>Storage, i had 89MB.  But since i have deleted one of the 2.4G backups (which was "incomplete") my new entries are still not showing up in iCal and on the iCloud.
    Is there a way to get this feature to work again?
    Are there things i can check or uncheck in settings or in Calendar or  ??   that will get this to work well as it did in iOS 5?

    ckuan -  thank you for replying.  i am really desperate for help.  I have wasted so much time on this. I was on hold with Apple support for a long time and then had a call with a rep that lasted over an hour but he didn't know anything about issues of these kinds.  i was put on hold a lot while he consulted.  He did agree that the data wasn't syncing from iPhone to iCloud and iCal because the iCloud storage was used up by the iPhone back ups.  So he advised deleting one of them.  I now have 2.4G of storage on iCloud.  Am i wrong to think that should be enough?   I still ave the original complete back up (2.4g) undeleted, in case there some reason that i need it. i don't like deleting things i don't have a good understanding of.
    Following your instructions, i went to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars.  I then scrolled down to Calendars and at the bottom, i see where it says Default Calendar.  This raised new questions for me which i will ask you/others now:
    On the Default Calendar page, there is a heading that says iCloud and there is a second heading that says my gmail email address, [email protected].  Under the iCloud heading, there is a list of 8 "calendars," called Work, Family, Pets, Home, etc.  Under the gmail address heading, there is only one option listed, which is my gmail username.  When i went to the Default Calendar option, as i think you suggested if i understood you right, i found that the Calendar with the checkmark next to it was the gmail user name, under the gmail address heading.  Presumably, this is the same setting i had on my 4s with iOS 5.
    I wanted to follow your instruction to change this to iCloud as Default Calendar. but the only option i have is to choose only one of those 8 "calendars," either Work, or Pets, or Home, etc.  Does this make sense?   The only reason i know for having these many different calendars was to give different colors to the different event categories. I didn't really want them to be separate calendars. i just wanted to use the color coding for type of event in my overall calendar.
    I don't know why this is suddenly so complicated and confusing, after working fine  for the first two or three weeks i've had the new iPhone.  Suddenly, when i enter events in Calendar, it's not reaching the cloud.  If this is because my gmail and/or google user name was checked as the default calendar, that was not a setting i would've recently changed.  I never would  have set my iPhone to only use one of the iCloud sub-calendars at my default calendars.
    But right now, per your instructions, i have checked Settings>Mail.Contacts,Calendars>Calendars>Default Calendar to iCloud>Home (Home being one of my 8 sub-calendars).  When i look on the Mail,Contacts,Calendars setting list, under Default calendar, it now says Home, instead of my gmail username.  Just to be clear, there is no way to check iCloud on the Default Calendar page.  i have tried checking it, but it's just a somewhat grayed out heading and doesn't respond to attempts to check it, it's not offered as a Calendar option. Only the various sub-calendars are offered a default calendar options, under the grayed out iCloud heading.  So, i selected Home, for no particular reason. i have lots of entries under different categories.
    Here is the result:   still no new entries showed up in iCloud or iCal.  In January, a couple of days ago,  i entered three dental appointments, for which i have always used Health as what i thought was a category (not a separate  "calendar").  The color of Health events is green.  The color of Home events is Blue.  After changing the Default Calendar from gmail email address>user name to iCloud>Home (blue), the dental appointment in January did not show up.  But when i went into the first dental appointment event>edit and changed the "calendar" to Home, it then showed up on the calendar.  The other two dental appointments which were still Health did not show up. 
    Then, i changed the first dental appointment that is showing up in January back to Health (green).  It still shows up, now, colored green, even though Home/blue is now my default calendar.  But the two other dental appointments are not showing up.
    Does this mean if want to use my Calendar and have the data backed up in iCloud and iCal, from now on, i need to use only one sub calendar and give up  using the different color codes because iOS 8 is forcing me to choose only one sub calendar to be my whole calendar, and the only way to use different colors for different categories of events would be to first enter it as the default sub calendar (such as dental appointment>Home), and then go back and edit it into the correct sub calendar (such as changing it to the correct category, Health) to show the correct one instead of the "default" one?
    Why was this made so much more difficult and complicated than it used to be?  It was working normally up  until a couple of days ago.
    What i need, if possible, is info on what setting i can use to go back to using my gmail address user name as my default calendar, so that it can just work properly as it did before.  It seems ridiculous that i am forced by iCloud to use a sub category as my default calendar and everything that isn't entered as that subcategory will not be processed in iCloud.  Why does iCloud provide these sub calendar category options at all, if it's going to force people to only be able to use one of them?
    What am i missing here?
    Is there a setting that would enable combining all subcategories as one calendar, called iCloud, but where i could still use the different colors for different categories?  

  • My Iphone calendar events are not showing up in iCal when I sync? Syncing has not been an issue till today?

    My Iphone calendar events are not showing up in iCal when I sync? Syncing has not been an issue till today?

    I found this tip from a 2011 discussion on the same topic.
    Open iCal and backup or export your entries. Make a note of the fie name and location, you're going to need them in a minute. Once your backup/export is completed, close the iCal application.
    Open Finder and remove everything inside the "Username/Library/Calendars" folder. For instance, if your username is "Joe", then move everything inside the "Joe/Library/Calendars" folder.
    Open the iSync application. It's located in the "/Applications/" folder. Once iSync is opened, go into the iSync Preferences (iSync -> Preferences) and push/click the "Reset Sync History" button. Then, close the iSync application.
    Re-Open the iCal application and Import (File -> Import) a new calendar. When prompted, use your notes from Step #1 to select the file your created earlier. Once completed, close the iCal application (you should have all of your calendar entries back.)
    Open the iTunes application and connect your Apple iPhone to the computer.
    Within the Advanced section of the Info tab for the Apple iPhone, check the box the overwrites/replaces the Calendar data on the Apple iPhone.
    Click the Apple/Sync button. New, modified and deleted entries should now be syncing correctly.
    That's it! You should be all set and iTunes, iCal and our Apple iPhone should all be playing nicely as friends again. We've used the exact method to repair our own Apple iPhone at least once... maybe even twice.

  • ICal Events not showing in Outlook Calendar

    I'm new to iCal. My Mail and iCal are now synched up with my work's Outlook Exchange.
    The problem: My events entered in Outlook's Calendar ARE showing up in my iCal, but events entered in iCal ARE NOT showing up in my Outlook Calendar.
    Whither wrong am I going?

    Bumping this in case someone can help...:)

  • ICal events not showing

    Ever since I upgraded to OS Mavericks, some of my events are not showing up on iCal in the month view, particularly Sunday events that start at 12:00AM.

    Instead of syncing ALL calendars, I selected a few and then synced. After syncing, I selected "Sync ALL" and all my calendars were sent to iPhone successfully. Hope this helps.

  • ICal events not showing in calendar

    I have an issue syncing iCal with my iPhone. I do believe it is an iCal problem though.
    Some events in iCal don't get synced to the iPhone and one event that does not show up in iCal shows up on the iPhone after sync.
    Does anybody have any suggestions for troubleshooting iCal? Maybe repairing the iCal database? Tracing down problem events/calendars?
    Thanks

    Instead of syncing ALL calendars, I selected a few and then synced. After syncing, I selected "Sync ALL" and all my calendars were sent to iPhone successfully. Hope this helps.

  • ICal is not showing some past events since I upgraded to Lion.

    iCal is not showing some past events since I upgraded to Lion. I can find the past events in mail but if I click and open them, they are not showing up on the calendar. Advice? I am trying to recreate my schedule from past meetings.

    I love computers.
    Have managed to fix this already. Been working the issue for a few days now, and a few minutes after writing the above post I decided to reset the Time Capsule to factory default settings.
    After entering all my details again (used same network names, passwords etc) the Time Capsule was rebooted. When it came back on line - guess what? Yep, the MyBook WD drive is now visibile. I can connect via the network from my other machines to the drive, and iTunes is back.
    So - thought I would post my resolution in case it helps others.

  • After install snow leopard, ical does not show the events of some calendars

    After I install snow leopard, ical does not show all the events, or simple does not show the events of some calendars that I created.
    Can somebody solve this problem? Is there some update for ical?

    Try the following:
    1 - Go to your user account home folder, and open the library folder within it.
    Look for the folder named "Calendars" and inside you might find a bunch of different folders with weird names. If they are there that means your calendars might not be lost.
    2 - Look for the file "Calendar Cache". That file might be corrupted. Trash it. You may want to save a copy of it elsewhere. Once trashed, re-open ical. This should force it to rebuild its library based on those folders with weird names you saw. Your calendars should be back. Good luck

  • 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??

    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

  • Notifications Not Showing Up in iCal

    I have notifications set up in iCal to display 15 minutes before the event, but for some reason they are not showing up. My calendars are currently being synced with Google's Caldav servers, but even when I try to do it on a local calendar, the notifications are simply not popping up. They used to be fine in 10.5, but for some reason, nothing is popping up in iCal now. The notifications are fine on Gcal. Can anyone help? Thank you in advance.

    I don't seem to be getting iCal push notifications on my iOS devices and my Macs.  I have current versions of Lion (10.7.3) and iCal (5.0.2) and am using iCloud (@me.com) and the people that are sending me invites are using a variety of email accounts for their own iCloud accounts.  The point is that the invitations show up in the Calendar (outlined and background color of grey with the option to Accept or Decline) but they aren't pupulating in my "inbox" next to the "Calendar" button in the upper righthand corner.  Nor are they indicated on my iOS devices.  Both updated with the latest version of iOS 5.X.X.

  • Ical invites not being sent from MacBook Pro but are being sent from iphone

    Hoping someone can please help me! I am suddenly unable to send iCal invites from my laptop. They look like they send, but nobody receives them and also the events don't show on my iPhone and iPad2. If I add the event on my iPhone, I do see it on my laptop. I recently did a system update and I wonder if that is the cause. Any help you can give me would be so appreciated. Thanks.

    I am having this problem as well.  Specifically, when I create a new calendar meeting I am able to add users to the invitation and when I save the invite it gets sent.  I have also modified an existing calendar event that has other people invited, and when I exit editing the meeting a pop up window specifically asks if I want to save my changes "and send it to the other invited participants" or something like that.
    I click yes.
    In both cases (the original creation and invitation, and the modification and send update to attendees) nothing is received by the other recipients.  Not a calendar event or invitation, not an email with a .ics attachment or similar, or not even an email notification.
    Thus, I set up an event in my calendar, invite others, and no one is aware that the event was set up.
    Is there any way around this?  I don't think I'm doing anything wrong as the process of creating an event, inviting someone, and sending out the invitation seems pretty straight forward.  It just isn't working.

  • All day events not showing up in iCal

    On my iMac I cannot enter an all day event in iCal.  All day events entered via my iPhone or Mobile Me also do not show up on the iMac.  Just upgraded to Lion, no problem before this!

    Hi Linda,
    Open iCal and from the View menu check that Show All-Day Events is checked.
    Best wishes

  • A multi-day/all-day event in the iCloud calendar does not show up in iCal if the "all-day" box is checked

    When I establish a multi-day event on iCloud but do not check the "all-day" box it shows up just fine in iCal as an event that exists on each day along side the other events that occupy those dates.  However, when I check the "all-day" box when editing the event (in either calendar) the event completely disappears from the iCal calendar (it shows up across the top of the iCloud calendar in the "all-day eventt" line.  On my iPhone, there is no change in appearance (the event shows up on each day).
    Anybody have a clue what causes this?  Maybe just a "feature" of iCal beta?

    This is exactly what's happening to me. I've been able to recreate this on a Touch also with OS4. It's not occuring on OS3. I've only been able to recreate the problem on July 30th and August 1st calendar dates for some reason. It may be happening on other dates also but I havn't been able to find any.
    To recreate the problem go into day view on the calendar. Go to August 1st and create a calendar entry. Then touch the left arrow to go back a day then touch the right arrow to return to august 1st and your entry is invisible. It's still there because if you go forward a day then go back a day it shows.
    I've been using list view only now to avoid missing these invisible entries.
