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.

  • How do I choose which email address to send a calendar invite from?

    I use iCalendar for business.  I don't want to send company calendar invites with my personal @.mac account.  Years ago I had a Bberry and could choose which email address to send it from while creating a meeting in the calendar.  Is this not possible with Apple Technology?

    Open Mail app. Click where it says mail on the upper left corner of the screen, choose preferences choose accounts tab on the top then select the account you don't want anymore and click the - button at the bottom.

  • How do i send a calendar invite

    how do i send a calendar invite from the iphone?

    The only documentation that comea withe iPhone is a quick start guide. The full manual is online. The section on the calendar says:
    Invitations
    If you have an iCloud account, a Microsoft Exchange account, or a supported CalDAV account, you can send and receive meeting invitations.
    so if you calendar is not one of the above (on the server side) is not one of the above you can't send invitations
    As to when Apple will add the ability we are all just users so we would have no idea but it's not up to apple as it's having the support for invitations in the underlying calendar system

  • Exchange 2007 when sending a calendar invite, a non-existent delegate shows up in an undeliverable message

    I had a test user that was removed. When it was removed, it was still listed as a delegate on someone's email. Now, whenever a Calendar invite is sent to the existing user, the sender receives an undeliverable message. The existing user does not receive
    notification of a calendar event, but the event does show up in the calendar.

    Hi,
    If the delegate user account or mailbox has been removed from domain or Exchange server, please also remove the delegate settings with this account.
    If a user is set as a delegate for a manager, the meeting request which is send to the Manager would be forwarded to the delegate automatically and ask for approving in the delegate side.
    Please do the following steps in the Manager’s Outlook client to remove the delegate settings for this non-existent delegate:
    1. Open the Manager’s Outlook.
    2. Click File > Account Settings > Delegate Access.
    3. In the Delegate list, click the non-existent delegate, click Remove.
    4. Click OK to save the settings.
    Then check whether the issue persists.

  • Send iCloud Calendar invites from main Apple ID address

    I have recently started using all the iCloud services and have noticed that when I send calendar invitations to people, it sends from (myUsername)@me.com. Is there a way to change the email address that sent invites go from so that if is sent from my primary apple ID email address or another alternative address. Please help me, thanks.

    I have the same problem. There isn't anything serious, but I am a bit angry for it :-)

    Problem:
    1.A Lion user creates a new iCal event and invites multiple people to the event.  The event is created and then an email invitation is sent to all invitees.  Each invitee receives 6 - 10 email notices about the evet. 
    2. the event organizer changes the event time, multiple email notices go out to all invitees (6-10 emails each).
    What is causing this problem and is there a way to fix it?

  • When I try to send a calendar invite I get the following error ... iCal was unable to send the invitation.  To be able to send invitations, you need to create an address card for yourself in Address Book.

    I have deleted and recreated "My Card" several times, but iCal is still not recognizing the card.  The application was working fine until a few weeks ago.  I recently purchased Microsoft Office for Mac but have not installed any other new software.  Also checked to make sure my mac software is updated.  Help!!!

    ebnovotny,
    Have you also used Address Book>Card>Make This My Card?
    If you have, you could also quit iCal, find the com.apple.ical.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences folder and drag it to the Desktop. Then log out/in or restart and check if your card is recognized.

  • How do I send a calendar invite from my phone to a non-Apple device (PC using Outlook) in a non-iCloud format?

    I have searched but haven't come up with an answer yet.
    Here's my situation:  I use multiple calendars across multiple platforms (work and home, Exchange & iCal).  To keep them in sync, I send an invite to one or the other (work email / personal email).  While I can fairly reliably send an email from work (Outlook / Exchange) to my iCal via email (using Mail on iPhone, iPad or MacAir), I cannot do the reverse.  The culprit, per se, is our corporate security policies.  Since the invite comes from iCloud and to accept it (and have it added to my calendar), I have to communicate with iCloud.  But alas, said communication is blocked (corporate stance:  since it's possible to do file sharing it's been tagged as such and blocked).
    While I would love to change the corporate policy, I am unable to do so
    So, my question is how do I change the invite to not come from iCloud?  I tried switching off iCal sync in iCloud, but when I do, the invitation option within iCal no longer exists.
    Is there a preference switch somewhere that I am missing?

    Is the message saying to log into iCloud on her device and not only a computer?
    To use iCloud on a you must have an Apple device that can use iCloud.
    To enable iCloud on your Windows PC (Windows 7 or 8 required), first set up your iCloud account on your other iOS devices or Mac, then install iCloud for Windows.

  • Cant send/receive calendar invites using gmail

    Im having trouble sending/receiving invitation in my iPhone cal. I notice it only seems to do this with gmail accts. I read some old posts on this being a problem with iCloud and gmail addresses for apple ID. Trying to see if there is a more updated fix before contacting Apple?

    OK. This seems to be a problem, at least more so, with a google secondary calendar. If I send/receive invited on my default Google cal at least some of them are working. When I try to send with the secondary cal selected (a calendar added under my default calendar that is shared with others) nothing happens? I do have gmail set up through exchange and have deleted it and reinstalled once with no help.

  • When sending a calendar invite to any email address (regardless of provider) that is associated with an Apple ID will not get the invite. Any email address not associated with Apple ID will. Why? Using iOS 6.0.1, iPad, iPhone and PC.

      I have sent an invite to an email associated to an Apple ID and that email never received the invite. I then changed the email associated with the receiving Apple ID to something new and removed the original email address (the original email address is no longer associated with any apple ID even as the alternate). I then cancelled the first appointment, created a new appointment and again invited the original email address. That original email address then received the canceled appointment notification and the new appointment invite. This problem is not just with my Apple ID (sending or receiving) but several other people that have tested sending iCloud invites to other Apple ID users. Any thoughts?

    Hi Stateler74,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  You might be able to find the Apple ID that her email address is associated with by following this article's instructions:

  • List Workflow to send a calendar invite

    Here's the scenario
    I Created a vacation list form with Require content approval items
    Basically all I have as columns are Start Date, End Date, and Notes.
    I have a workflow that sends email on create and modify. I was wondering if there is any way in SP designer to send an email to a calendar account not sharepoint calendar regarding the item. So basically if I could pass start date and end date and the subject.. 
    Kindly please help ?
    Thanks in advance :)

    Hi,
    Can you provide more details about “calendar account”? I’m not quite clear about what it means.
    Per my understanding, you might want to send email to an account with values of some specific columns.
    If this is the case, you can use the “Send an Email” action in SharePoint Designer workflow to send email to a specific account with the content from list item.
    A demo about creating a workflow with SharePoint Designer that sends an email:

  • 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?

  • Is there a way to send mass Outlook calendar invites?

    Our business is a subscription based business that has multiple service lines that hold a client only webinar each month. One of our service lines has found great success in terms of response and attendance sending out calendar invitations via Outlook.
    However, these invites can only be sent out to 20-30 email addresses at once without being marked by spam filters.
    1. Is there a way to do this in outlook or a product that allows us to do this?
    2. Is there a way to do a "mail merge" of sorts for outlook invitations?
    3. I know we are able to do a mail merge and attach an .ics file, but correct me if I'm wrong, we aren't able to verify who added that to their calendar because the sending email address won't receive an accepted or declined response. It would be
    nice to see who accepts as well because then we are able to cross reference our registration list and manually register those who may have just added the calendar request, but didn't go into the link to register for the conference--this also gives us collateral
    for sponsors.
    Any ideas would be very helpful. Thanks!

  • Exchange calendar invitations accepted in IOS remain "new" in iCal

    My work calendar and email is based on Exchange. I manage both from a Mac (using Outlook 2011 for Mac) and an iPhone 5 running IOS 7.latest.
    It works just fine. If I accept an invitation on any platform is is accepted on all. Then I look at OSX Calender (which I will refer to as iCal) and I still see a mass of invitations (the ones that I accepted on my phone or using Outlook).
    I use iCal because I share calendars with the rest of my family using iCloud. So that I can view my work and home calendars in one place, I have also set up iCal to see both iCloud and Exchange calendars.
    The iCloud side of the house does what I want it to do. The problem comes with the way iCal deals with calendar invitations from my Exchange account. Here goes:
    I receive an Exchange calendar invitation.
    I process it (accept/tentative/decline) using Outlook on the Mac or the IOS Calendar on my iPhone.
    The invitation on the device I didn't use goes away.
    I open iCal.
    The "new" invitation is still there in iCal waiting to be processed, the only way to clear it is to accept/tentative/decline it.
    I cannot find any setting to prevent this from happening. iCal seems to ignore changes in status of Exchange invitations.
    Any ideas gratefully accepted! Thanks, Charlie

    have had what I think is similar issue.... on both ipad and iphone.  Running IOS6.  Have gmail account setup through exchange connector.  IOS receives and accepts invites just fine from external devices....  If i create a new invite on the IOS device and add invitees with external email addresses, once this calendar invite is saved into the diary it doesnt trigger invites to go out to those 3rd parties... but the invite definitely is in the calendar as can also see it on mast google calendar.
    If I then go and move the timing of the invite that has been created on the IOS device (by holding down and dragging to new time) this then immediately triggers an invite (new Invitiation, not reschedule) to be sent to the external email addresses...  any further modification to timing of invite then triggers 'reschedule' calendar invites to go out - so expected behaviour.
    The issue is that IOS is not triggering the invite to go out to external parties who have been added to a newly created invite - and it only does this when the date/time of the invite is modified.
    Spent about 1.5 hrs on phone to apple support yesterday - they have now passed on to 3rd level support....
    Are others seeing the same behaviour as above?
