ICal invites when calender event is changed in Outlook?

How do I stop iCal / MobileMe sending out invites when I change a calender event in Outlook?

Hi, any thoughts here? I tried replacing the system timezone file for IST with a vanilla +0530 GMT offset one (in /var/share/zoneinfo) but that didn't work (even after a reboot). Does Mail (and other such applications) not use the system timezone definition files?

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!

I have accepted iCal invitations with repeating events and they have since been deleted from the iCal on my Mac but won't delete from my iPhone. Help

I have accepted iCal invitations with repeating events and they have since been deleted from the iCal on my Mac but won't delete from my iPhone. Help

I experienced this issue as well.
Background:
I had opened an ICS attachment for a repeating event on my iPhone, which added the item to my phone's calendar. I did not have the option to delete the calendar entry from my phone, and the item did not appear on the calendar on my Mac. My phone is currently running iOS 7 (but the problem began quite awhile ago; I don't recall which version of iOS was installed when it started).
Solution (summary):
Create a new calendar, move the items that you wish to delete to the new calendar, then delete the new calendar
Solution (detailed steps):
Create a new calendar
On your phone, open the calendar app
Tap the "Calendars" option at the bottom of the screen
Tap the "Edit" button in the top left corner
Scroll to the bottom of the list and tap the "Add Calendar..." option
Give your new calendar a good name, such as "Delete me"
Tap "Done" in the top right corner to save the new calendar
Tap "Done" in the top left corner to finish editing the list of calendars
Tap "Done" to exit the list of calendars
Assign all calendar entries that you wish to delete to the calendar you created in step 1
Tap a calendar entry that you wish to delete
Tap the "Edit" button in the top right corner
Scroll down until you see the Calendar field (on an iPhone or iPod it's usually just below the bottom of the screen), then tap the Calendar field to bring up the list of available calendars
Tap the name of the calendar that you created in step 1 (e.g. "Delete me"); the screen should return to the main calendar entry page
Tap "Done" in the top right corner of the screen. You may need to then tap the "< Day" button on the top left of the screen to return to the main calendar view
Repeat the instructions in step 2 for each of the calendar entries that you wish to delete
Delete the calendar that you created in step 2 (this will delete all calendar entries assigned to this calendar)
From the main screen in the calendar app, tap the "Calendars" option at the bottom of the screen
Tap the "Edit" button in the top left corner
Tap the entry for the calendar that you created in step 2 (e.g. "Delete me")
Scroll to the bottom of the scren and tap the "Delete Calendar" option. You should be prompted with a warning that explains that "All events associated with this calendar will also be deleted."
If you're sure that the only items on this calendar are items that you wish to delete, tap the "Delete Calendar" button
Tap "Done" in the top right corner to exit the Edit Calendars screen
Tap "Done" to exit the list of calendars. You should now be back at the main view of the calendars app
Rejoice, your pesky repeating calendar events have been deleted
At this point all of the items that you assigned to the deleted calendar should be gone
Repeat the steps above for any entries that you missed

ICal Issues- Dates and Events Being Changed

I transferred to iCal when I bought a Macbook Air about 3 months ago and it has been a bit of a disaster. It's annoying as I have iPhone/iPad and half of the point of buying the Macbook Air was compatibility between the calendars on all devices. The problem is that I alternate between using the "work" and "home" options and for some reason, if I put anything under the "work" option, it usually does one, or all of the following:
1.) Changes event from "Work" to "Home"
2.) In the case of multi day events (so, for example, a work trip spanning 3rd to 5th Feb), it reverts to just the first day (so the 3rd)
3.) In the case of time specific events (so, for example, a meeting at 14:30 on 3rd Feb), it reverts to being all day and deletes the time
Anyone got any ideas? It's driving me absolutely insane...

I just set an event for the 24th with a "2 minute before" alarm. I then dragged it to today 11/19 and the alarm went off 2 minutes before the new event time. I.e., the alarm time was automatically updated. Now if the alarm were set with the "on date" option, I wouldn't expect that to be updated. I'm using iCal Version 4.0.3 (1388).

ICal Crash When Editing Event

If I double click on an event name or select "get info" my iCal immediately crashes. I am unable to view the info or edit any events. It happens on all events across all of my calendars.
I didn't have this problem in Leopard. It started happening when I upgraded to Snow Leopard.

How can I send invites when scheduling events through iPhone?

I was able to do this through corporate Exchange before, but now without Exchange, and having set iCloud as my default calendar, the event notificaton does not appear to be sent when I create the event with an invitee. I used my account as a test (and have confirmed it wasn't trapped by spam). Any pointers?

Re: theMAIR,
Oh....it would be a diificult for me to send iMessage to my friend's ipod......(as he does not own iphone....)
Problems for iMessage in iPhone4 which I found:
1. Cannot choose to send iMessage or SMS
2. If there has a person who only have email information(Apple ID) in contact, you cannot choose this person to send iMessage
However, if Ipod send iMessage to iPhone, then iPhone can reply it.............
p.s. I hope there will be an option to turn off SMS =] (as iMessage is free of charge)

Ical invites seen off by 1 hour in Outlook for IST (India Standard Time)

Hi,
I have this strange problem since I migrated to MAC recently and started using iCal. Earlier I was using Thunderbird with Lightning. I am in the India time zone (IST). Whenever I create an appointment using iCal and send invites (using MAC Mail) to meeting participants, the Outlook users among the recipients see the meeting at a time that is an hour ahead of the scheduled time. Lightning users get the invite correctly. Both my Mac and the recipients are using IST timezone.
Please note that India does not use daylight saving. I dug into the problem a bit and I have a speculation about what is going wrong.
India used daylight saving briefly in 1942. The VTIMEZONE specification generated in the ics by iCal seems to specify that daylight savings is used since May 15, 1942, and standard time is used since Sep 1, 1942. My speculation is that Outlook interprets this as saying that daylight saving is in force today (July 2013), probably just ignoring the year specification. Other calendar applications possibly are unaware of this bit of world war II history.
Any way that I can get iCal to not include the timezone information or to modify its 1942 memory? Currently, I am creating all appointments using UTC but that's obviously not pleasant.
Here is a paste of the relevant data in the ics file.
BEGIN:VTIMEZONE
TZID:Asia/Kolkata
BEGIN:STANDARD
TZOFFSETFROM:+0630
DTSTART:19420515T000000
TZNAME:GMT+05:30
TZOFFSETTO:+0530
RDATE:19420515T000000
RDATE:19451015T000000
END:STANDARD
BEGIN:DAYLIGHT
TZOFFSETFROM:+0530
DTSTART:19420901T000000
TZNAME:GMT+05:30
TZOFFSETTO:+0630
RDATE:19420901T000000
END:DAYLIGHT

How to change color of iCal event, without changing the calendar.

I have my work Exchange calendar imported to iCal. When I want to change the color of an event in iCal, it actually changes the event to a differnet 'calendar' and therefore no longer shows up on my work calendar. This wouldn't be a problem, excpet my secretary can no longer see the event on my work calendar that shows up on her PC. So how can I change the color of 1 event, say to 'Important' or 'Must Attend', without changing the calendar?

Welcome to the discussions, spet.
Right click (Control-click) the calendar you want to change in the left pane and select Get Info. There is a colour selection button to the right of the calendar name..

I recently upgraded to snow leopard and now every time i open iCal i get multiple events to update in iCal

I recently upgraded to snow leopard and now every time i open iCal i get multiple events to update in iCal. Except I don't know where these are coming from or why. I've check iCal preferences and Help - can't find a way to stop this from happening automatically. Any Clues? Also, some of the events are already on my calendar and have been for quite some time.

Greetings,
What do you mean by "events to update"? Do you mean invites to new events or changes to existing invites?
Troubleshooting:
1. Your profile indicates you are running 10.6.7, 10.6.8 is the current version Apple > Software update.
2. First make an iCal backup: Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal 1 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.
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)
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!

[BUG] iCal reverts Google Calender recurring events when changed.

When in Apple Calendar and drag a recurring event to a new time and the pop-up asks if I want to do this for this event or all future events and choose only this event it changes, then moments later it reverts back to the original time. These events were originally created on Google Calendar.
It seems that Google Calendar is taking preference over Apple Calandar and not updating or acknowledging Apple Calandar's comand to change.
Has anyone seen this happen or have a recommended fix?

You can also try http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html but I don't think that's as useful.

How can I stop getting emails when adding events to iCal (Mac) or Calendar (iOS)?

This question could just as well go to the iCloud on my Mac community...
I put 'I' in the topic for brevity but it's actually my wife who gets emails every time either of us adds or edits events, whether we do it in iCal on either of our Macs or in Calendar on our iOS devices. Presumably this is to do with a setting in iCloud somewhere, but I've searched high and low and can’t find it. I've also compared settings on our Macs and phones and can't find anything that could be the culprit. It's driving her nuts!
For more information, we share all our calendars so that either of us read and write any of them, and we're both on iOS 5.1 on our iPhones (hers is a 3GS, mine's a 4), and we're both on Mac OS X 10.7.3 Lion (2010 27" iMac and 2011 MacBook Pro respectively).

this seems to be a new "bug" on iCloud. It's happened to many users (judging by the posts here). My wife and I have one shared calendar and we've been happily using it without the email problems (because I had set iCloud NOT to email us whenever an event changed - this was done at icloud.com, a setting there). Recently we began getting emails. I suspect a change in iCloud that was in error, because I just checked my setting and the option to have an email sent when an event changes is not checked.

When I get an ICS from Outlook that is a multi-day event it populates my iCal as a single day and since I am not the owner I cannot edit the ICS.

When I get an ICS from Outlook Express (Office is PC based) that is a multi-day event, it populates my iCal as a single day and since I am not the owner I cannot edit the ICS. I have to delete it and send a "decline notice" to the sender and re-enter it so I can put in multiple day events. Help!

If you are running Tiger, you don't have time machine.
You need to get something like SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner (sorry, I don't have a handy link for CCC but you can Google it to get their site) to make a clone of your drive on the external and then do incremental backups. The free versions do a lot and you can upgrade to the full-service versions for small change if you need more. The one time I used SuperDuper! for cloning a volume it worked just fine.
(My backup application is the last PPC capable version of Retrospect, which does a credible job, or has over the past ten-twelve years.)

How do i get my events to change colors when i add new ones in my calendar

How do I get my events to change colors when I add a new event in my calendar?

When you add an event and you see the heading "Calendar", do you see a name to the right of it such as "Work"? If you tap on the heading "Calendar" does it show you a list of calendars?
I'm basing this on my experience using iCal on a Mac to sync with my iPad. I created a number of calendars on the Mac and assigned them different colors. Those appear on my iPad. I don't know how to create additional calendars on the iPad alone - I must create them in iCal or MobileMe then they show up on the iPad. Are you using a Mac or MobileMe?

Time of iCal events is changed on phone

Syncing iCal events with my Sony Ericsson V800 worked fine until a few weeks ago. Since then some, but not all events appear with a changed tme on the phone, mostly by 1 hour. Computer and phone both have the same time zone setting (GMT + 2, Mid European daylight saving time). Resetting the sync history on iSync didn't change anything. Does anyone have a hint how to solve this? Thanks in advance.

This is most likely due to the clocks changing at the end of the month. Events before the clocks change will be ok, events after will be one hour out
This is just a limtation in the way iSync & Sony Ericsson phones handle the clocks changing.
When the clocks do change just adjust the daylight savings setting in the phone and re-sync. All future events will be correct until the next clocks change in 6 months.
