ICal - Outlook invitation

Hi,
I am new owner of MacBook Pro and I have small problem with iCal. In my work, we are using calendar (everybody except me Outlook). When they send me calendar invitation from outlook, I receive the file with the invitation. I just open it and it works (it's not so good, because I have to open it, but ok). Problem is when I send to them, they have to open some file and it is not co comfortable (especially for my boss). Do you know how to fix this?
Thank you.
P.S.: I hope there is not the answer in this forum because I didn't find...

I have noticed that MobileMe sends out invitations automatically when I copy a meeting from a local calendar to a MobileMe calendar. This happens even if I'm not the originator of the meeting. I'm also wondering if there's any way to disable this behavior?

Bouncing outlook invitations

Hi - my @me account is consistently bouncing calendar invitations sent from Outlook. Regular emails from the same senders get through just fine; calendar invitations from google are no problem. This is true on my MBP using Mail with latest OS as of 4/14/15, my iPhone 6 with latest updates, and my iPad with latest updates, as well as using a browser on someone else's computer and simply signing into icloud, Any ideas on how to remedy?

I have the same issue -- even worse it seems in the last day with 10.4.4 update. But there is no mention in the 10.4.4 release notes of any iCal 'changes'.
My events are also off by GMT, but they appear in the future -- at the GMT time. For example, my wife sends me an invite for a kids basketball game at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. In iCal the 'note' shows the correct information, but the time in iCal is at 7:00 p.m. -- a GMT offset of zero. I have the time zone sent in iCal, Outlook, and anything else I can think of . As you mentioned, in iCal the best time zone I can pick for my location is Central/Chicago, while Outlook uses the more generic "Central" time zone.
Apple needs to fix this issue -- I had been sending reports about it on iCal feedback for 2 years now. In prior versions at least you could change the date for invite's in iCal -- now you can't. They also don't handle a delete/update invitation from Outlook for a recurring event I was already invited to. Example, kids have basketball practice everey Monday at 5:00 p.m. from 11/21/05 - 2/20/06. Wife then sends 'deletes' for 12/26/05 and 1/2/06 because those are during school break. iCal wants to delete the whole repeating event.

Outlook invites

How do I accept an Outlook invite from a client in iCal? I have tried to "decline" an outlook invite for a meeting that has been changed & the appointment won't leave my iCal calendar. Also, when I continue to try to decline or delete the app't., I'm afraid it's sending "decline" messages to the client. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

I have a similar situation. I can accept an Outlook invitation without any problems. The problem occurs when a change is sent to the original invitation (time or date change, etc). Opening the ics file does nothing. The meeting in ical doesn't change. I may receive a message that says "Go offline or revert to server", but not all the time. The only way this is fixed is if we ask the person who sent the original invitation to delete it, which will delete it from ical (why does this work?) and then send a brand new meeting invitation with the new info. Anyone else see this issue? This happens on multiple machines, iMac 27 running Lion and MBP 15 running Lion.
Thanks.

Can't accept outlook invites in iPhone calendar app

Hi everyone,
Here's my problem: I have been using my iPhone 4 for about a year now, syncing the calendar via MobileMe first and then via iCloud. All this time I haven't been able to accept calendar invites on my phone. The functionality on my phone in steps:
I receive an Outlook invite as email, open the mail, scroll to bottom, open the ICS attachment.
The attachment opens up showing organiser, invitees, time, etc. In the bottom I have a button "Add to calendar"
I press the "Add to calendar" and the event display closes, I'm back in my mail app. Apparently, when I press "add to calendar" an automated reply is sent, saying I've tentatively accepted. I have to wait until I'm at my MacBook to accept or reject the meetings.
Any ideas on how and where I could fix this? Is this a setup issue?
So, I'm using iPhone 4 with a MacBook, both about a year old. All software is updated, syncing via iCloud.

Hello Nelson,
On Lightning, to create your calendar access you need to fill an address like the following one:
http://<hostsname>:<port>/caldav/<organization>t/principals/individuals/<username>
On your browser --> http://hostaname:port/caldav
Then you need to proceed with the authentication, then after the organisation name choose
- principals
- individuals
- you should see the <username> value
- and then you will see the CalDav url you need to enter in Lightning to access your Calendar. From this point you should be able to see all the meeting created on Outlook and accept the future invitation.
Hope that answer your question
Regards
Fred

Outlook Invites Not Syncing on BB

Hello,
I am hoping that someone can help me with a strange problem I am having on my Blackberry Passport. For some reason meeting invites are not syncing between my desktop calendar and the calendar on my phone. I've also noticed that calendars that I have "subscribed" to aren't syncing wirelessly, but certainly I had hoped that Outlook invites would work since those come in as emails. Anyone have any ideas? Any help would be very much appreciated, thanks!

What if you use the Gmail app and/or outlook app ?

Calendar sync between iCal, Outlook 2011 and 2010 and iCloud

All,
I'm having trouble syncing calendars on my devices and I haven't been able to find a workable solution yet. I know this topic has been covered extensively, but I haven't found anything that works.
I want to be able to sync my calendars (email works just fine) between three devices: A MBP (Mountain Lion) running Outlook 2011, iPhone 4S (Calendar App) and a desktop (Win8) with Outlook 2010.
Currently, I have no problem syncing the desktop with my iPhone (using iCloud) and these events sync into iCal on the MBP. Outlook 2011 on the MBP syncs into iCal using Sync Services to the "On My Mac" calendar. All of my previous calendar entries are single events in the iPhone, Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2011, but show up as duplicates in iCal (one entry is in the iCloud calendar, and other is in the On My Mac calendar). Since I don't use iCal as my "working" calendar program on my MBP, the duplicates are fine if it works as an interface between iCloud and On My Mac.
For any new calendar items, however, I must obviously select which calendar they'll appear in. As suspected, if I select iCloud, the items all sync to iCal, Outlook 2010 and my iPhone, but not Outlook 2011; conversely, creating events in Outlook 2011 syncs via On My Mac to iCal, but not the devices as using iCloud.
It seems to me that if a rule could be made in iCal which duplicated any event from On My Mac into iCloud, and another rule which duplicated iCloud events into On My Mac, there would be complete syncing across the programs, with obvious duplications of events in iCal (which is fine by me). I'm not a programmer and I have no idea how to, or even if, this can be done.
Has anyone else found a way to make this work, or have any other solutions?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Outlook 2011 is not compatible with iCloud, it won't work and your 'workaround' may affect iCloud clients on the same account.
Don't use 2011.

Since upgrading to Lion, iCal event invitations are not working well.

Since upgrading to Lion last week, I am having problems with sending iCal event invitations to large groups of people (say 10 people or more). Although my iMac, iPhone, and iPad iCals show that invitations have been sent, only a few of those invited have actually received event invite emails.
Has anyone else experienced this? If so, any insight into the problem or solution?
Thanks in advance.

If you want.
or maybe install Snow Leopard using the disc it came on with my Mac and just set it up from a Time Machine Backup on my external hard drive (since it works under SL)?
Did you install Lion on an empty partition, or did you upgrade Snow Leopard? If you upgraded, I'd not recommend erasing it, since your backups are apparently gone. It's doubtful Snow Leopard will recognize them.
It's not just backups on the drive either, there are other important things on there, so why won't they show?
Mixing Time Machine backups and other data is not a good idea. See #3 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. It sounds like the whole disk is corrupted.
I just really don't understand how this happened. Could it not be an issue with WD because they haven't issued firmware to support Lion yet?
If this is a simple external HD, connected by USB or FireWire, no, unless you installed some of WD's software on it. That shouldn't prevent it from being seen at all, but anything's possible.

HT4993 When I send Outlook invites to my iPhone (via email) the appointments appear 3 hours earlier? The time setting appears to be EST which is accurate so I can't figure out why the appointments don't appear in real time. Thanks for your help, Ellen

1) The best way to relocate the iTunes library folder is to move the entire iTunes folder with all subfolders to the new path, then press and hold down shift as start iTunes and keep holding until prompted to choose a library, then browse to the relocated folder and open the file iTunes Library.itl inside it.
If you've done something different then provide some more details about what is where and I should be able to help.
2) Purchases on the device should automatically transfer to a Purchased on <DeviceName> playlist, but it my depend a bit on whether automatic iCloud downloads are enabled. If there is a cloudy link then the transfer might not happen. You can use File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. In iTunes you should also check out iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
3) Backup the device, then immediately restore it. In some cases you need to add a restore as new device into that equation. Obbviously not to be attempted until you're sure all your media is in your library. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device should it be needed.
4) I believe there is complimentary 1 incident 90-day support with hardware purchases, but no free software support for iTunes itself. AppleCare gets you a different level of support.

Create outlook invitations

hi guys,
i am in the process of designing a system that is to be created using Java/Java Servlets. One functionality that is required of the system is that it needs to accept input from a user (name, email, date, time etc...) and then generate an Microsoft Outlook invitation and send this invitation as an attachment to an email address.
My question is, is this possible? are there any libraries on the net that can do this?
Thanks for your time.

Not receiving email notifications of iCal event invitations from other parties.

I am not receiving emails for iCal event invitations from other parties, but the invitations ARE in my iCal Inbox. I don't use iCal often, so I never proactively go in to check my Inbox there, but rather have always depended on receiving the email notification of an event invite to know to add it to my iCal. I can SEND invitations to others successfully with other parties receiving MY email notifications, I'm just not receiving them via email.
I've now missed two very important meetings because I never received the email invitations to add an event, which were the only forms of correspondence for both. Can anyone help me? Thank you!

Changing ical "accepted:mailto:" in iCal event invitation

Recently I've noticed that iCal has been sending the iCal event invitation with the incorrect "accepted:mailto:" email address. By looking at the raw source of the sent message you can see where the email address goes to when the user accepts the meeting invite.
Is there any way to change this embedded email address? Where is iCal getting this address from?
Thanks for the help,
Michel

Hi Guys,
I was able solve this problem by going into my addressbook, selecting preferences then "Template" and finally adding an extra email field to the template and setting the first email field to "home" and the second one to "work". Then closed the preferences and tested an iCal meeting invite. The reply accept email address now used my home email address.
Hope this helps.

ICal sending invites

How do I successfully use iCal to invite my husband to attend events in my calendar? I have spent 40 mins on the phone to apple care and they could not figure out why it is not working. I have a 4S. Running 6.1.3 IOS. I am using email addresses in my contacts for my 'invitee' and there is a record of the invitee in my calendar event. We checked my apple ID and the correct email address is saved there so that should be it. Help!

anyone ??

On iCal I invited someone to an event. But when it shows up on the other persons phone it doesn't have my name. It says my mom invited them. How do I change that?
