ICAL will not let me Accept or Decline new Invites from outlook users

Hi using Ical with mobileme new calender. Ical will not let me accept or decline any new meeting invites or change and updated invites sent to me.

So as the owner of a 140 year old brand who appreciates just how important it is to continue satisfying your customers, I have to wonder just how long will it take for Apple to lose the loyalty of its raving fans?
I love my iPad . . . except that it won't work with Adobe Flash which makes it kind of useless for many sites that I visit.
I love my iPhone, unless I actually want to use it outside of my home (Cincinnati is always 10 years behind, and our AT&T network is all but downtown for large parts of the day).
And I love my iMacs, so much so that I paid big bucks to integrate it into my office network (I am the CEO, so I can do that) and convinced my wife, mother and mother-in-law to switch from PCs.
Life was grand, integrated, happy!
And now, the MobileMe upgrade, which tried (unsuccessfully) to force me to Snow Leopard (I was able to complete the upgrade manually); then refused to work with Google Calendar (annoying, but I switched my wife's calendar to MobileMe and eliminated the need for Google Cal); but now, I cannot get Outlook notifications to work. Really?
If Apple is going to now be **** bent on making sure that their products are completely incompatible with Microsoft and Google, then I may have to switch back. I understand that Windows 7 is much better than the old XP that I gladly left behind. My cousin has an Android phone which appears to work great. There are now a plethora of new tablet PCs running Android that all appear to be great. And my wife was happy with Google calender and Google Docs, so maybe technology has finally evolved to the point that we no longer need Apple, Steve Jobs or his arrogant my way or the highway brilliance any more.
It is a sad day. I loved Apple. I admired Steve Jobs. But frankly, I feel that my loyalty is being taken for granted by an arrogant company that no longer gives a **** about its customers wants and needs. I NEED Apple devices that can work and play nice with Google, Outlook and Adobe Flash. And Mr. Jobs, if you are too **** proud to deliver this kind of functionality to your customers, the day is fast approaching (and may already be here) when I can find other companies that are willing to do whatever it takes to make my life just a little bit easier. My loyalty is not free, but comes at a price: namely, that you respect me as a customer. The Apple that I knew AND LOVED is fast losing its shine. Does anyone care?

  • My iCal will not let me put in a new event.

    I just tried several times unsuccessfully to add an event to my iCal and nothing happens when I select new event. When I click "edit" it asks if I want to undo the new event. I tried quitting iCal and rebooting my computer, but nothing works.

    Seems you have accidentally turned on VoiceOver. The process of turning it off is rather convoluted once it has been activated. Look in the Manual under  Chapter 32: Accessability ....VoiceOver:

  • Can't access my video meetings after Lion install Flashplayer will not let me accept or deny

    I can't access my online meetings after installing lion.  Flashplayer will not let me accept or deny.

    Yes I have tried everything.  Talked with support on the phone and all they could say was it is adobe Flash players fault.  They had no idea how to fix it.

  • My ichat will let me send video chats requests, but it will not let me accept them. What should i do? Also, sometimes it tells me i cannot add a 2nd or 3rd person to an existing chat because it is connected to AOL's relay servers. What does this mean?

    Unfortunately, most of my advice is in the "hindsight is 20-20" category.
    First off, I would never have purchased the peripheral accessories until the 14 day return period had expired. Second, you learned the hard way what the "14 days" really means.
    Too bad you didn't do any homework, reading this and other forums and tech sites. Even word of mouth from others. That, more than anything could have steered you towards different phone choices from the get-go and I will leave that there with no further comment other than to say most of the issues you described have been discussed in this forum, ad nauseam.
    Once you got into the refurbished phone exchanges, that is where things really went haywire. What someone tells you over the phone is a sketchy proposition, and when it comes down to it, it's your word against theirs.
    I think Verizon tried to make it right, though. Remember, they don't make the phones. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
    You stated yourself you were a satisfied Verizon customer before this. Had the first two phones performed as they should, you would still be a satisfied Verizon customer.
    Doubt any of that will make you any happier, but after you went through the effort of writing such a long post, I thought I'd try.

  • Ipad3 will not let me accept terms and conditions after software update

    I downloaded the new software and had forgotten my password so had to ask for it.Now when I turn on my ipad it goes to the terms and conditions page but will not let me accept them and has a screen behind that  that says create a password but I cannot get to that without accepting terms and conditions!!!! My Ipad is a brick! Help please!

  • My iCal will not let me add new events since Jan. 1,2013. I get an error message that directs me to the console, whatever this is. Frustrating and confusing!!!

    My iCal will not allow me to add any new entries. I get an error message that says I encountered a critical error while saving to data base and directs me to te console whatever this is??? This just started after the first of the year?

    My iCal worked fine on my MacBook Pro so I ran Chronosync between my MacBook Pro laptop and iMac, the problem seems to have disappeared. Both computers have a working iCal now and I have my fingers crossed that they will stay so!!!

  • I downloaded the new version and it has reverted to the old and will not let me re-install the new because it thinks it is installed

    I downloaded the new version of Pages and it has reverted to the old version.  It will not let me re-install the new version because it thinks it has it installed

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5.1 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store.

  • HT201269 my iphone 5s will not let me accept terms and conditions

    My IPhone 5s will not let me access terms and conditions

    Hello splitends,
    It sounds like you are stuck at a screen asking you to accept the terms but the accept button is not there. I recommend restarting your phone, then try again:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

  • I-Cloud - 4S will not let me accept terms and conditions

    My 4S will not allow me to accept the terms and conditions of I Cloud.
    It is saying... Unable to connect to server..
    Any suggestions???

    Same happened to me after updating to 7.0.3 . After several other attempts, I clicked on "Delete Account" in Settings>iCloud.  This signed my iPhone out of iCloud.  I then signed back in and the "Accept Terms and Conditions" prompt was gone and all returned to normal.

  • My ical will not let me add events it saying my calender was created by mail.  How can I change this.  We use mobile me and synch

    Does anyone know how I can add events to my desktop ical when the message I receive says that the calender was created by Mail
    I do not know how this happened.  I managed to synch and change this some months ago but I do not know how!

    Hi Cara,
    Welcome to Discussions.
    With iCal closed, try deleting it's preference file (User/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iCal.plist).
    If this does not work try repairing permissions. Open Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility) and select your boot volume on the left and click Repair Permissions.
    If neither of these work post back.

  • ICal will not let me import backed up "icbu" Data

    I recently downgraded from iCal Beta as I was unhappy with the push function between my iPad and what was updated via a web browser. In the process, I made a back up for the iCal as icbu file (following file-export-export).
    After downgrading it to normal iCal, I tried to import the icbu file. It appears successful for a few seconds, but as soon as the circle image starts rotating all the backed up data are gone. What gives? Here are some of the things I have tried:
    1, I have tried importing the file while logged off from my MobileMe account. This changes nothing.
    2, I have tried replacing the "Calendars" folder with the one backed up in Time Machine. The same thing happens. I get a flash of what was backed up, but it disappears. During this process, I have also replaced the iCal related files in the preferences from Time Machine and I am not logged into my MobileMe account.
    3, I have tried importing the backed up icbu file to Google Calendar and this didn't work either.
    Can somebody help me out? My schedule along with memo for my appointments have gone M.I.A.
    Thanks

    I too have tried turning off syncing to no avail. I also tried reversing the direction of the sync from mac to MobileMe (didn't work) and the opposite. All that did was erase my mobileMe calendar, so now both are blank. But I still can't import the backup for more than 1 second.
    Oh and did i mention that my iPhone calendar is now blank as well even though i turned off syncing there as well? Ugh.

  • Ical will not let me add new events

    Hi. I am working on a mac at my new job and I was trying to use the ical on here to setup my calendar. However, when I click in the field I get a warning message that says: "You cannot change events or To Do items on calendars you've subscribed to."
    I didn't subscribe to this calendar, it is the original calendar given to me when I opened ical. I tried adding a new calendar and adding on that but it gives me the same message. Any suggestions on what to do to fix this? Thanks!!
