ICal invites show up on phone, not on computer

Even when I click "refresh" in the iCal menu, most invitations that have been sent to me do not show up. I know that I am getting them, as they all show up on my phone. Only about 1 in 8 show up in iCal, even after hitting refresh.

Wanted to post an update for anyone else with this issue. I was advised by someone else to call AT&T customer support and have them resend activation/provisioning to the phone. He said he had the issue and this worked for him. So I called and when I finally got someone I was told that there was nothing they could "resend" to the phone but she got in touch with an Apple iphone support person and after explaining the issue to her she connected me to the Apple rep. I explained everything again to her and she said there were two options - the "restore as new phone" which she did not recommend because of the hassle and length of time involved, or have the activation resent to the phone by AT&T. I told her that I had been told there was nothing to be resent. She told me that was incorrect and then she got back in touch with AT&T support then got back to me and said I would see a text message to power off the phone. When I saw that I was to power off and wait 5 minutes and then power the phone back on. At the time I was actually using the phone that had the issue so she called me back on my phone and after 5 minutes I powered the other phone back up and the number now shows up everywhere it's supposed to. Simple, no muss, no fuss and no restore!!
I thanked her profusely and we both wondered why the first AT&T service person I spoke to did not know that this could be done or did not want to. But she told me the AT&T guys are a little scared of the Apple guys and that they can get things done that we might not be able to. Anyway it is a simple process if you can get them to do it the first time, maybe it's best to go through the Apple people first. The Apple service rep was wonderful and I'm happy!

Purchased music shows in iphone, but not in computer, how can I get them bk

I can't find my purchased music from itunes, they show in my iphone and I can play them as well,
but they are nowhere to be found in my laptop. How can I get them back....It's almost $100.00
value, need help please!!!

iTunes Store purchases are treated a bit differently than other music in your library. If you have authorized music purchases from the iTunes store on your phone and your computer is authorized for that same account, you can transfer purchased tunes from the phone to the computer -- whether you purchased them on the iPhone or on the computer. You can read more about transferring purchases here:

ICal Invites show Standard Time instead of Daylight Time

When sending event invites from iCal 4 with Exchange 2007 the event is created correctly but the email message is off by an hour and says Eastern Standard Time instead of Eastern Daylight Time.

I have the same problem.
I just imported my Palm Date Book calendar into iCal. The appointments in October show the correct time. Those in November are off by one hour. Here in Toronto, we go off Daylight time at the end of October.
My question is, if I correct the appointments now, is iCal going to "correct" them again when the time change actually happens?
I see there are lots of unanswered questions on Time Zone problems with iCal. Seems to be an issue with deep roots in the program.

Conact requests on phone not on computer

Have Skype 5.2.0.62296 on my Android phone, 5.0.1. Windows 7 and Skype 7.1.60.105 on my laptop. I get contract requests on my phone, but they do not come to my laptop. Why is this so?

You can't play iOS apps on a Mac OS X operating system.

I deleted my playlist off my iPhone (on my phone not on iTunes) and it deleted the playlists from my iTunes and I NEED them back...how?

It seems TOO MANY people are having this same problem. Honestly, Apple is just dirt now...more problems than now. I need help asap.
I went onto iTunes and clicked on my phone's name in the upper right corner. I have my music set on 'selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres' which this usually means, I just click below to which playlists I want on my phone. However, none of my playlists were updating (none of the new songs I added to my playlists already on my phone were transfering) so I went on my phone and simply deleted the playlists there, then was planning on re-syncing them on my phone from iTunes on my computer. BUT when I went onto my iTunes, somehow ALL my playlists were deleted EVEN THOUGH I ONLY DELETED THEM OFF MY PHONE NOT MY COMPUTER! THESE PLAYLISTS ARE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT AND I NEED THEM BACK NOW! I tried using the backup, which was done before the playlists were deleted, but of course Apple, it did not work. Great job, there. I just want these playlists back, both on my computer and on my phone. I have plenty of space free to hold these playlists/songs.
Apples exceptional failure of everything iPhone and iTunes related is too maturfully pathetic I don't know if I have the patience or time to deal with this company anymore, even though I have been along for the ride since the first iPhone came out. Congratulations, Steve Jobs would be so happy with how far Apple's sunk.
Problems:
Video's not synching
Playlists not updating
Playlists deleting from iTunes when simply deleted from iPhone
New songs not transfering to iPhone
My battery jumping from 30% to 5% in less than a minute
My phone completely shutting down at 30% and not turning back on, saying it needs to be charged
When above happens, and I plug it in, after it turns back on, it pumps straight to 30% battery again
Lock screen not always locking, even though it is set to 1 minute

I'm not ranting at you, I'm ranting at Apple.
Yes, I backed it up. It did not work when I tried this to get my playlists back.

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!

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?!

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

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!

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.

Hello I send imessages to a phone number I receive delivery notice but sms does not show on receiving phone. Otherwise when receive imessage from other phone I reply and receiver sees SMS !!! Any explanation ?

Hello I send imessages to a phone number I receive delivery notice but sms does not show on receiving phone. Otherwise when receive imessage from other phone I reply and receiver sees SMS !!! Any explanation ?

To my knowledge, I've only seen this for imessage only and not SMS.
The other users would need to have send read receipts enabled on their phone.

My Number Does Not Show Up On Phone Or In iTunes

This actually occurs on what is now my wife's iphone. It had been mine until I got the 3g one. We got a new sim from AT&T and activated it through itunes for my wife. Everything works, there are no special issues other than what everyone else has seen with the 2.0 software. Her number shows up on caller id on other phones all texts and emails and calls go through with no issue. However her number does not show up anywhere on her phone, not in settings on the phone screen, not on the contacts list and not on itunes either. I remember last year there were some posts regarding this issue but when I was using this phone my number showed up where it was supposed to be so I didn't pay attention to any possible resolutions. I've found a couple of posts that refer to a possible solution involving the sim card. However we went to an AT&T store and two of the guys there who both have iphones said that the sim wouldn't have anything to do with this.
I'm assuming that something didn't transfer over when we did the activation for her but have no idea how to rectify this. I did try a restore from backup but that didn't do anything. On my phone my number shows up in the right places. Even though this isn't a critical or major issue it does annoy me ( more me than my wife! ). Does anyone have any suggestions?

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.
