ICal sending invites as declined

When sending attendance invites through iCal, it seems they show up as declined when received by the other person. Does anyone have an idea what would cause this to happen or witnessed this before?

anyone ??

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!

ICal sending invitation from no longer existent email alias. How can I fix that?

I've had my me.com email account for almost 4 years now. Of course I've been using iCloud for the past year. The only issue I have at the moment is with my iCal invitations. I used to have an email alias that I no longer use but have deleted it a long time ago. Now when I sent iCal invites recently, people got it as if they were sent from my old alias. Could someone please tell me how to make the invitations be sent from my actual email account?
Thanks!!

Same problem here, with the following twist. The Calendar invitation will be sent from a different old email alias, depending on which device I send it from. Three different old email aliases depending on whether I sent the invitation from my Mac, iPad or iPhone.
And in my case, these email aliases are ones I deleted long ago and do not appear in my list of email aliases when I look at my apple id on iCloud.com
On a random possibly related basis, when I use the app Find My Friends, all of my old (and deleted) email aliases appear -- including the three shown when I send a Calendar invitation. Not sure whether that has to do with anything, but it is the only other place where any old deleted email aliases appear.
Any solution?

ICal "send invite" weirdness

the text entry in the invite persons to an event gets the wrong letter
For example when I enter the letter "k" in the field it prints "b" EVERY TIME (& of course produces a list from my address book with all the names starting with "b" or "B". this does not happen with "q" or "h" but it will happen with "j" Maybe other letters as well --I have not try them all. It also does not appear to be a problem for the second keystoke (i.e.I can type "hob" or "Ej" but not "boh" or "je"
This is a repeatable problem; happens every time, Very annoying.

Bill,
You may want to investigate iCal Reply Checker, by John Maisey:
iCal Reply Checker is an add-in to iCal for Mac OSX 10.4 and 10.5 that gives the user options for how replies to meeting invites are dealt with. It allows the user to not send replies, send replies on a case by case basis, send all replies or (as of version 1.2) opens the reply message in Mail for editing.

ICal sending invites from wrong email address

My Mac has an Oedipus complex: Whenever I send an invitation from my Calendar on my iMac, it appears to be sent not from my email address but from my mother's address. (She doesn't even use my computer.)
So far, all of the settings seem to be correct:
In Calendar, Preferences / Accounts setting correctly lists my email address.
In Contacts, the "Me" card correctly identifies itself as me, with my address.
In Mail, Preferences / Accounts setting correctly lists my address.
Also in Mail, Preferences / Composing correctly lists my address under the "Send new messages from" field.
In the iCloud system preference and the iCloud website, my correct address is the only one listed.
In none of those settings does my mother's address appear.
The only think I can think of is that I gave her my old iPad for Christmas and reformatted it using her email address as the default account. That's the only time I've ever entered her address in anything. She doesn't have her own Apple ID, so I synced it using my iTunes.
Facetime now insists upon listing her address as one of my available accounts, so I'm thinking one of the Apple settings somewhere considers her address to be my newest. How do I fix this?

I was having trouble setting the default email account in the mail app. Even moving it to the top didn't seem to work. Finally got it working by doing this:
If an account mailbox is at the top, but the account is not the default, drag it down and then back up to the top. This will reset the order and establish the top one as the default.

Publishing iCal - time zone issue & sending invites - Entourage?

Hi there,
Am currently looking into using iCal as our internal calendar system, and just have a couple of quick questions:
1. I've been mucking around with publishing a test calendar on .Mac, and there seems to be a problem with the time zones. I'm in Sydney, Australia, and my System Prefs on my local machine are set to this time zone, and on my .Mac account I've set them to Sydney, Australia as well. However, when I publish the calendar, an event that's in my calendar on my local machine at 10.30am ends up published as occurring at 6.30pm? Is there a preference setting I've missed somewhere?
2. Is there any way to use Entourage for sending invitations to iCal events? Even though I've set the Default E-mail Reader in Apple Mail as Entourage, whenever I try to invite a user to an iCal event, Apple Mail is launched. Why isn't it recognising my preference settings?
Thanks,
Claire.

I am not sure about No 2, but someone clever here might help.
So far as the first one goes, have a look at the orginal event (in iCal) and see whether it 'thinks' it's in Sydney. (I am guessing that you might have imported the data from elsewhere, so if it doesn't show properly you could try: a. making a positive change to the correct timezone, or b. deleting it and recreating the correct event from scratch in iCal. Then republish and check the web version. If this is getting somewhere, I can explain what I think is happening.)

ICal not sending invites

Hey,
Is there anybody experienced tha problem when trying to send invite (meeting request) via iCal it sais:
iCal could not send the invitation.
To send invitations, create a card in Address Book.
I've created Address Book card for that person but it didn't solve my problem.
Any thoughts?

Solution: just add yourself in Address Book and click "Card" -> "Make This My Card" for iCal to know whom to put in "From" field.

Customize the email invitation iCal sends for meetings?

Objective: I am looking for a way to use iCal to send invitations that are business related so that they contain my company logo etc.
When an invitation to an event is sent from iCal the invitation contains Apple iCal logos etc.
Is there a way to customise this Apple iCal invitation format?
Or, can iCal support custom invitations if the invitation is sent from a non-Apple email address?
Do I have to use a different calander / email client to achieve my objective?
Thanks in advance for taking the time to advise me.

Did you ever figure this out or get an answer to this??

ICal won't send invites

Hello! Help me please.. I am trying to send invites to attendees and ICal keeps telling me "unable to send invite" and says "To be able to send invitations, you need to create an address card for yourself in Mac OS X Address Book." I have an address card created in the Address book.. what am I doing wrong?

lgcavet,
Try deleting and recreating your "My Card."
After recreating the card, use Address Book>Card>Make This My Card.

Ical cannot send invites anymore. "?" appears before email address

I can no longer send invitation to calendar events from Ical. a "?" mark appears before the email address. Have gone into preference and have no idea what might hace affected this. Any help appreciated.

I have the exact same problem with a caveat - I shouldn't be using one company's mail server to send invitations related to another company! A corporate resources no-no.
It would be nice if each calendar could be associated with an email account.
See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7539832&#7539832 for a full discussion. When iCal invokes Mail to send the invitation Mail uses the preference for 'Send new mail from' which in my case is the 'Account of last viewed mail'. So I can work around the problem by going to Mail, selecting the account that I want iCal to use and then sending the invitation.

After upgrading to iCloud, iCal doesn't send invitation anymore

Hi guys.
I've this "simple" problem.
After upgrading to iClous, my iCal doesn't send invitation anymore!
Please, help me!
Federico.

I've found some other people discussing this recently in the internet (although not as many as I thought) so it seems to be a generalized problem.
I wouldn't want to swtich back to local calendar and sync everything back but this is an annoying problem becase there's no way you can know if the invite went out or not.
Did someone find an official acknowledge of this or something like that? I'm not sure if it's something in our configuration that's causing the problem. My Apple ID email is my personal email address and my calendar used to send invites through my work account (which is the only account configured in my mac currently). I'm not sure what mechanism does iCloud use to send the invites (it didn't work in any device or even in iCloud.com itself).
Best,
Rod

Is it possible to send invites to an event on iphone iCal?, Is it possible to send invites to an event on iphone iCal?

I know this can be done in ical on my mac, Any ideas or is this not available yet?

Greetings Mandy,
At present the Calendar app for iOS (its not actually iCal but an app made specifically for iOS devices) only allows you to send invites if you are using a calendar which is hosted by MobileMe or a Mac OS X Server.
If you'd like to see this feature send feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
iOS 5 is coming out at some point: http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/. Perhaps it will include this feature for local calendars as well.
Cheers.

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.
