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.

TS1398 internet pages are not loading on ipad. anyone know why?
We have two ipads in our home. All of the sudden, the ipads are having difficulty loading pages. An initial page downloads, but when clicking a link, the web page shows it is partially downloaded and the connection circle just spins.
Downloading Moutain Lion requires a high speed broadband connection.
6.21 will never work. That is not broadband.
Make certain your Mac can run Mountain Lion > System requirements for OS X Mountain Lion
Check your download speed here > Speedtest.net by Ookla - The Global Broadband Speed Test
Anything less than 15Mbps will not be fast enough to download Mountain Lion. It's a 4.35GB (approximately) file. That will time out on a slow connection. -
Help Please - Buttons are not displayed in some platforms/browsers
I've designed my website using flash 8 and I've just noticed
that the buttons aren't being displayed on all browser/platforms.
It works fine on the majority of them but I just went to a couple
of places and accessed my page and the buttons are not shown at
all. Anyone knows why it works in some platforms and not in others?
What can I do to fix this problem?
my website is:

MarcelloHi
This is not my exact program, that has a large no: of code. So I am putting here a sample one. One thing I would like to point out is that , I can see the buttons at the time of loading the applet and suddenly it vanishes and the image is drawn. Then if I move the mouse along the position of these buttons , they got displayed.
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
/*<applet code = MyClass width = 500 height = 500>
</applet>
public class MyClass extends JApplet
Image img;
JButton b1,b2;
Container cp;
Canvas1 cv;
class Canvas1 extends JPanel
public void paint(Graphics g)
super.paint(g);
g.setColor(Color.black);
g.fillRect(0,0,500,500);
img = getImage(getCodeBase(),"image1.jpeg");
g.drawImage(img,20,20,this);
public void start()
cv = new Canvas1();
cv.setBounds(0,0,500,500);
cp.add(cv);
public void init()
setLayout(null);
cp = getContentPane();
b1 = new JButton("Button1");
b1.setBounds(1,1,100,30);
cp.add(b1);
b2 = new JButton("Button2");
b2.setBounds(200,1,100,30);
cp.add(b2);
It would be very helpful to me if you could fix the problem.
Thank You. -
I recenly changed device from BB Curve 8530 to BB Bold 9900 and ever since then can't accept BBM invitations and Invites sent shows only as "Pending for Authorization" but recipients are not receiving them either. Tried sending PIN messages but I got a red x next to the message and the status says: "Service Blocked" .
When my phone got lost, I was lucky that I just synchronized my device to my BB Desktop. Not only was I able to retrieve my contacts (phonebooks and BBM) but also ALL txt msgs and even call logs
Anway, that happening, I assumed I don't need to re-send all my BBM friends invites since some were able to communicate with me. But for those who have deleted my profile (knowing it got lost) and were still on my contact were the ones affected. I tried deleting them and sent an invite only to find out that: I can't accept BBM invitations and Invites sent shows as "Pending for Authorization" but recipients are not receiving any. (they also have the same pending for authorization notice on their end)
When I tried to send them a PIN message I get a red x next to the message nd get the service blocked message.
Help I do not know what else to do.
** FYI: new contacts added with my new PIN have no prob sending invites and me accepting them all.Hello Lhea,
This issue is most likely Caused by the BlackBerry not being provisioned for BlackBerry Data Services.
Please have a look at the following article that covers "Service Blocked" when sending a PIN message:

Some clients are not receiving my mail attachments.
Some clients are not receiving my mail attachments. Other recipients of the same email DO receive these attachments. It doesn't matter whether it is a jpg, pdf, doc, or other. Sending from gmail or entourage works, only sending from apple mail is a problem. This has been an ongoing problem for me in Lion and Snow Leopard. I'm new to this forum, so not sure I'm posting in the right area, but I've searched for an answer and can't find anything. Do I need a plug-in or something? I like my apple mail and don't want to switch, but this is a real problem for me. Help, please!
We have the same problem in Snow Leopard, so the problem isn't new. I've been researching this for a while now. Based on what I've read in a whole load of discussions it seems it's an issue in the way Outlook reads the e-mails send by Apple Mail. I've no idea of the technicalities of this but one obvious difference is that Mail's default formatting is Rich Text and Outlook's is HTML, but what do I know.
We've done variuos test with our PC based clients but with no success: Send as Icon; Window's friendly attachement; Mail Attachement Iconiser, etc. Nothing gets rid of the problem entirely. We're a Mac based Public Relations agency and we send image to the media all of the time...and we have no guarantees that they are getting through.
It's frustrating that Mail doesn't have an option, as it does for plain text, to send in an outlook friendly way. To me it's a huge problem and if Apple isn't going to sort it, given that Outlook is the choice of Enterprise and 95% of our clients, then we're going to have to spend thousands and switch to Outlook. Apple have gone to great pains to promote cross-compatibility with PC's and perhaps this is one little example of where they could try harder.
Mail has not had much obvious love and attention for a while and if there's an Apple employee looking in on this thread, perhaps it's time to love it up, give it a few more bells and whistles (without over-complicating of course) and make it sing with Outlook.
My last attenpt is to try Thunderbird as a default mail client; I'm told it doesn't suffer from the same PC compatibility issues. -
Just got the Samsung Galaxy s5 and am very frustrated that I am not receiving text messages that were supposedly sent to me. Also, it says 'sent' but it is never delivered. Or it might get delivered but mine still just shows being sent. I re-started that phone and disabled my texting on my old iphone as some have suggested. I'm ready to go back to the iphone just because of this issue. Please fix this Verizon!
I'll tell you it is some marketing coup that a problem Apple has created and has control over is being passed off on Verizon.
This problem is the result of you migrating from iMessage, a messaging platform controlled completely by Apple, back to a more mainstream messaging system of SMS/MMS. Verizon has no control over other iPhones "thinking" you are still using iMessage. NOTHING Verizon can do will fix this problem.
Try texting the word "stop" to 48369. Others have reported this has worked. Doing this should de-register your number with the iMessage system. You should receive a confirmation reply. It may take a day or 2 for other iPhones to completely register that your number is no longer associated with iMessage. You can also try calling Apple support and let them know you are not receiving messages from iPhone users after switching to an android phone from an iPhone. -

I followed the instructions.
Click Administrators in the left navigation pane to open the Administrators tab.
Click +Add more link located at the bottom of the table.
Enter the email address and name of the person to invite as an administrator.

When this did not work I had the invitee create an Adobe ID.
Both my invites did not receive an email for the invitation.
Is there a work around?Will follow instructions.

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. -
Windows users are not receiving attachments sent out of Mail
I am a consultant. I use Mail in Snow Leopard. Software is up to date.
Our business uses Microsoft Exchange Server 2003. All other consultants in the company are using Windows. In Mail I connect via IMAP. It has worked flawlessly until recently.
Recently, my corporate clients (various clients not related to one another nor using the same email server) have complained that they are not receiving my email attachments. It is not universal. It is inconsistent, even with the same client. Sometimes the attachments are there and sometimes not.
I have verified two things. 1) That the attachments are present in the emails in my outbox. 2) That the emails leave our server with the attachment (I accomplished this by contacting our Microsoft Exchange service provider and giving them examples, which they tracked down and verified that the emails left them with the attachments.).
Our service provider suggested that Mail is adding something to the email that is causing Outlook (the common denominator is that the clients receiving the emails are all on Outlook) to strip the attachment. Or, the antivirus is stripping it. Something about the Mail email is causing Outlook or some antivirus software to strip the attachments.
Has anyone else encountered this? Is there something that can be done?
Right now I've had to go to Thunderbird in order for my attachments to be received. I'd rather stay with Mac all the way, but I cannot trust that my clients will receive attachments.
I'm hoping that when our company changes to MS Exchange Server 2007, that the problem will go away, since Mail can interface with the 2007 version directly. But, until then, I would really like to stick with Mail, if I can find a work around.
Thanks.
MattI am now having exactly the same problem. But here is a new wrinkle. ALL the persons having the problem you describe - that attachments are stripped off - are using cox.net as their e-mail provider. I am not saying that all cox.net mail users are having the problem, but those having the problem are among the cox.net e-mail users. None of my recipients using aol.com, yahoo.com, gmail.com, verizon.net, zona.net, etc. are having any problems. Only some of the cox.net e-mail users.
I suspect but have not checked that they are all PC users (I use a Mac with Mail) and, now that I have become aware of this thread, I will check if they use Outlook.
It started a few months ago. I had no problems before and now this, with the same people. Obviously something must have changed but what?
Please let me know if you have found anything more about this - or even a solution? :-) -
Calendar invites are not possible
I am frustrated. Working with 10.8.5.Invites via ical are not possible. Is there anywhere a good and helpful manual which shows the different steps.
Once I enter the first letters of an mail address, than choosing the one from the pull down list it is always marked with a "?" question mark. Then I push the button "sent" or "refreh" button, but the person which should receive the invitation does not receives it, nor can I check whether the mail actually was sent.
Would be really interested in how to solve this problem
Kind regards
GerhardSorry for the late reply, it is still an irritating issue. Apple says it's Google's poblem. Google thinks it's Apple's issue. Extremly irritating.
I tried setting up the Calendar using the Exchange presets but that did not solve the invitation problem. -
Dears,
We have recently implemented MS EPM 2013 where we started to face some strange behavior with the standard alerts and reminders sent from the system.
Minor number of the users (with different levels of privileges from administrators to team members) are receiving emails and alerts normally (either when they are assigned on project schedule tasks or SharePoint list items alerts) without any issues however
the. on the other hand the other majority number of resources are not receiving any kind of alerts from the system (neither from Project Server Nor from SharePoint).
knowing that, all the resources/users have their emails configured properly, and their other attributes are almost the same for all users. all the emails are stored on the same exchange server.
Anyone can help on this please.
Appreciate your cooperation.
Ibrahim Al-Masri Technology Manager at MethodCorpThanks Dinesh,
Actually the users have this global permissions configured for them and yet they weren't receiving emails.
We Just could solve this puzzle, all what we needed to do is to configure the
RBS for the majority for the users who weren't receiving emails.

SAP Approvers are not receiving email
Hi Gurus,
Please find the below issue and send me the solution .
It would appear that SAP Approvers are not receiving email notification when invoices are posted to their SAP box, which is causing delays in payment.
Thanks & Regards,
Chiranjeevi.Thomas,
Let me add this information. Some, but not all of the PO and AP email notifications are being delivered to Outlook. For years we have been running a modified version of RSWUWFML2 for Purchase orders and AP invoice approvals with no issues. At the beginning of this month, unbeknownst to us, our HR group scheduled RSWUWFML to run only for HR Appraisal Review notifications. Our job runs once per hour at a quarter past the hour. Their job runs every 20 minutes. Since both jobs update table SWU_WLSCAN, I suspect that our job is only seeing the last 15-20 minutes of work items as being eligible for delivery because RSWUWFML has modified the last run date. Does this sound right? If so, how can they be run together?
Thanks,
-don. -

goodnight. as you know apple has evolved considerably until today but there are people who do not have ability to buy new products. in my case I would like to know why the apple do not let the iphone 3g update to iOS 4.3 as are several applications that can not put on my iphone 3g due to this reason. Why does not Apple make a repository with applications for ios 4.2.1? or else do not work in an update to ios 4.3 on iphone 3g?
This has nothing to do with Apple, as Apple does not make the apps.
This is the decision of the app maker.
Contact those app makers and ask them why they do this. -

Also i do not understand why the ip address is 0.0.0.0/32 because the dhcp server ip address is 192.168.3.1Dear Customer,
Thank you for reaching Small Business Support Community.
In Layer 2 system mode, only the management VLAN can be configured with a static or dynamic IP address. In Layer 3 system mode, all the interface types (ports,LAGs, and/or VLANs) on the device can be configured with a static or dynamic IP. Configuring the device to work in either mode is performed in the Administration >System Settings page
When a DCHP Client starts a discovery process, it assigns a dummy IP address 0.0.0.0 before the real address is obtained. This dummy address has the status of “Not Received”.
Pretty much your problem should be solved by changing to Layer3 system mode. Please let me know if anything comes up and/or if there is any further assistance I may help you with.
Kind regards,
