ICal invite sending entire calendar

I'm running Snow Leopard (10.6.2) with iCal (4.0.1). Recently, when I send an event invitation, the person that receives the invite gets my entire calendar not just the specific event. Does anyone know how to correct this?

mine did the same thing today. It was back up using .mac and when I synced to have it restored nothing showed up except the time. Titles were all erased.
Need help.

Send invite to entire calendar

how do i send an invite of my entire calendar in ical? not individual events but the entire year of a specific calendar

Hi ggaeta!
I have an article here that can address your question of sharing whole calendars. This article will specifically speak for how you do this through iCloud, and can be found here:

ICAL erased my entire calendar

Is there a way to restore my i cal information. for some reason my ical info for my specific calendar was completely deleted on the last sync. I have my personal data and setting backed up weekly just did a restore from last three weeks data but my info on my calendar did not restore. Anyone can help me out would be great.

ICal: Changing the assigned calendar of an event sends out a new invite to all participants

iCal version 5.0.3:
I have multiple accounts set up (iCloud, shared, Exchange) in iCal.
I've noticed that when I receive an invite that is assigned to the wrong calendar (e.g. to my icloud calendar) and I then change the assigned calendar to the Exchange calendar, iCal actually sends an invite to all the attendees with me as the organizer of the event!
Instead of just changing the assigned calendar in my iCal, it creates a new invite on the new calendar from me to all the invitees.
This seems to be new behaviour (bug) in version 5, as I can't remember this happening in earlier versions. It stopped being funny when it just did this with a company-wide HR event to all employees
My default calendar is set to the Exchange account, but iCal seems to ignore that ever so often when adding new invites
Any ideas on how to prevent this, or do i have to wait for an update to iCal?

Hi Chris,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I often do the same thing (ie create an event in the wrong calendar). Are you aware that the assigned calendar appears in the info pane. You could simply select the correct calendar there, even reassign events.
I understand the desire to do this with Quickeys, though I suspect very few people here use Quickeys. So if you don't get an answer here I'd suggest you consider the Quickeys forum: http://forum.cesoft.com/

ICal Sending Repeat Calendar Invitations

I setup a recurring calendar invitation in iCal, and it sent half a dozen invitations after the initial invitation was accepted. What's going on?

I am having the same issue when sending iCal event invitations to Outlook users (both are on macs). They just don't receive any email invite to reply to, so remain unaware of the event.
I cannot see a way of checking whether they have even been sent, as non-Outlook users receive the invite emails fine.
Is there a log somewhere that lists the invites sent out perhaps?
I can't believe it's impossible to invite an Outlook user to an event via iCal on a mac, any suggestions would be gratefully received.
I'm using OSX 10.7.5. iCal is linked to an iCloud account that used to be a MobileMe account.
I tried following the instructions in: http://www.ehow.com/how_5887667_send-ical-invites-outlook.html, but couldn't get the code to "compile" without errors, so reverted to the original.

ICal invitations are sent with work email calendar and respond to personal

Ical is set up to receive my work calendar called [email protected] Work email is a google webmail account. Office workers send invited to me from google calendar. I can accept these and they DO show on my .mac Ical.
On Ical, i have a list of standard calendar topics (home, work, school, etc). I have the shared google calendar set up as a second calendar on the ICal application. No problem.
My VCard has all work information. No personal at all. Work email, etc.
My email mailboxes for both inbound and sent Are in rank order meaning "work" email is draqgged over ".mac personal" on both scenarios.
Problem is This: When I create invites for "work calendar" , a new event pops up, "work email" shows as the Calendar and everything looks good and it does go to the invitee.
1. Invitee receives the invitation and the invite states that it is from the ".mac PERSONAL" calendar
2. My name shows as the organizer however has my personal email as the default (Not my work email as listed in my VCard)
3. Most annoying of all, my "[email protected]" email address(If clicked on by the invitee) states my Wifes name on the email address bar.
I have checked everywhere as to why my wife is showing up as the "owner" or my personal .mac account. Not anywhere on my .me account, .mac account, VCard, etc.
Help?
I want to send my invites from my work email account using Ical with the responses showing, and responding to the same work email address. Simple right?

I have to admit... Im getting frustrated.
I deleted the shared google calendar. Starting over. I created a work calendar called "MSL" under the "calendars" drop down in ical.
Created a test event, sent it to a personal account, clicked the link to accept and the link sends me to Entourage? See Below... Says iCal... Link goes to Entourage.
MSL Packaging and Fulfillment' has invited you to the iCal event: New Event Test, scheduled for December 16, 2009 at 4:00 PM (Eastern Standard Time). To accept or decline this invitation, click the link below.
I want to:
1.Sync google calendar with my [email protected] webmail account and my ICAL.
2. Send invites from my ICAL when using my work address in imail, have them send from my work address, respond to my work address, and show up on google and ical calendars.

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!

Change iCal invitation email text (wrong sender in email)

Please help me... I have read forum after forum and thread after thread to find a solution...
When sending calendar invitations from iCal, they are sent with the old company name I used when installing my computer instead of the one I use today. So, the text I want to change in the email received by the invitee is "Thomas Dalebring - Humanor AB invited you to..." to "Thomas Dalebring - Predictio invited you to..."
Of course, the current problem creates quite a few misunderstandings and now I cannot use iCal to send invitations anymore.
I have tried changing my user profile in address book and changing my profile in the user accounts - but nothing works...
Has anybody else had this issue? Please help!

I FOUND the answer.
Go to your Mail application. Select Preferences. Select Composing. CHANGE "Send new messages from" field to contain the email address you wish to be the sender.

Send iCal Invite from Alternate Address?

My iCal invites in Lion keep sending from my .mac address (which I never use). I want it to send from by 'send from' address, and I've changed that info in mail and iCal -- to no avail.
Any suggestions?

Hello all,
I sync Gmail account with iCal on my Mac, and with my iPhone and iPad. I can see all of my events on all of my devices without a problem, and can send calendar invites on everything but my iPad. Is there a way to add an event invitation option to my iPad's calendar application?
AFAIK MobileMe is the only way to send event invites. If you have a MobileMe mail account then a new 'feature' of iPad Calendar is activated which allows sending invites.
I don't know of any other way to do it.

Ical is sending decline messages for accepted invites

When I get a calendar invite and accept it, all seems well, until I get an email back from the person inviting me asking why I accepted and then proceeded to decline the invite. I don't know what is happening. Can anyone help?

I've read this article regarding problems of Japanese users and decided to post it here instead of making n+1st separate topic:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301986
I have a similar problem, but with Russian characters. When I add attendees to my event in iCal and send them invitations, some of them (MS Windows/Outlook 2003 users) see garbage in the e-mail they recieve. The Sender field contains garbage where my name should be, and then goes the e-mail address of mine which looks normal.
It happens because the message sent with Mac OS X Mail is being encoded in Unicode while MS Outlook expects cp1251 (Windows) encoding, so my name taken from 'My card' entry in Mac Address Book is shown wrong.
How do I change default encoding to cp1251? I tried doing (according to the instructions in the articel for Japanese users):
# defaults read com.apple.mail
but it said there is no such domain, and listing of domains gives:
# defaults domains
blued, com.apple.Bluetooth, com.apple.HIToolbox, com.apple.driver.AppleHIDMouse, com.apple.symbolichotkeys
OK, I just temporarily changed my name by retyping it in transliteration, so that there are no Russian characters.
The message received by MS Outlook looks fine then, but the answers sent back to me aren't processed by iCal properly! It shows that a reply is received but doesn't updates the status - agreed, declined, tentative.
What do I do with that? Are there any additional actions my colleagues can take? Any additional software? Anything?!

I was entering an appointment on ICal this morning and it just wiped my entire calendar. Why did this happen and how do I fix it without a backup?

Hi. Help please. I was entering an appointment on ICal and it just wiped my entire calendar. Why? And how do I fix without a backup? Is it possible I somehow switched calendars or created a new one? If so, how do I get my old one back? This is mission critical. Cheers

Why does the Send button disappear on iCal invites?

Just to premise this post with the fact that this is from our networked work server, all running Macs on 10.6.7 and using iCal 4.0.4. I'm writing this on behalf of a colleague.
When she goes to send invites to events like Board/Committee meetings in iCal, the "Send" button often disappears. The title is there, there's a day/time and location, and the contacts are pulled from her Mail/Address Book contacts. Sometimes the send button stays as it should, and other times it disappears after a few seconds, with no way to bring it back up. So sometimes she tries to add a group of contacts and immediately hit Send before it disappears - but this often leads to typos or mistakes due to her rush.
Although I've used a Mac as my primary computer for years, I've never really used iCal much, so I didn't know how to help directly.
Any reasons why the Send button would not be showing? I was thinking perhaps it was an issue with the contacts, but they come directly from her daily Mail/Address Book. I saw her go through the steps - it doesn't appear she's missing anything. Any help would be great.

perhaps you could post a screen capture of that?

Ical events got pushed back by one day throughout the entire calendar

Well, first of all, I can't find the iCal.plist file in my preferences folder.
Either way, I don't think that will solve my problem: the dates and days on my ical are correct, but the events and to-dos are all moved back by one day. It's as if the layer containing the events got accidentally moved around and misplaced on the layer containing dates. I mean, every single one of them throughout the entire calendar history!! I think I pressed something while I was doing something on ical the other day, but this has never happened in the past 4 years. How can I fix this?

I've had this same issue 2 times now (I'm also on the same setup as you).
What has worked for me is the workaround listed here:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20070313180838582
To simplify, copy the script shown in the last post into a text file called:
correctBirthdays (no file extension such as .txt is necessary)
and save it into your home directory. Once you've done that:
1. Back up your Address Book with the 'File > Back up Address Book...' menu item
2. Open the Terminal application
3. In Terminal, type *chmod 755 correctBirthdays* to make the script executable.
4. Type *./correctBirthdays -1* and hit enter. If you're coming back from Japan, you'll want to use 1 instead of -1 to move the birthdays forward instead of back a day.
5. That's it. Terminal will report how many birthdays were corrected.
I'm guessing that this problem has been fixed in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, and that's why musicale can't reproduce the issue.
Hope this helps!
(and I take no responsibility if you mess something up! It should work though.)

How to send ical invites to outlook

When I send an ical invite to outlook user, some users ok to accept and others return mail.dat file attachement?

1. I didn't replace my [email protected] login with my [email protected] email. I only changed my email information to my [email protected] email. I still login with [email protected]
2. The me card in both my local address book and the addressbook on iCloud only contains my [email protected] email.
From what I've read in other threads, changing the apple id email means deleting my iCloud account and starting over with a new login email. Apple officially says that it's not possible. But others seem to have succeed with it.
Do you know of any other solution?

How to stop ical from sending email notifications for updates on my share ical calendar

Is it possible stop ical from sending email notifications for updates I make on my share ical calendar?
Mac OSX 10.7.2
Very annoying for the person I am sharing my calendar with to get an email every time I change something.
I hope there is a way to stop the emails, but for the updates to still go on their calendar.
Thanks

Great idea Lofty! thanks. If the person you are sharing a calendar with is a Yahoo Mail user, you only need to set up one filter (under Options - Mail Options - Filters) and route to Spam folder or a special folder for that purpose.
Add a filter with the following parameters:
Sender contains: "Your First and Last Name" as it appears in the emails they are receiving
Subject contains: "Your First Name"
Email body contains: "iCloud"
Don't need to match case on anything.
So far, only these unwanted emails are being routed to the folder I chose.
Hope that helps until Apple gets it's act together
