Icloud calendar invite - default email??

How do you set which email calendar invites are sent from, I use the calendar for work appointments, yet my iCloud is a personal account.

I decided to open a real problem, so I went to Support.Apple.com and within a few short clicks, Apple called me.
I accidentally hung up on them, and they called back in 2 minutes.
I then waited in the queue for a few short minutes. The person who answered, understood my problem and transferred me to the iCal department where I waited another 15 minutes.
The iCal department then did some research for 10 minutes, and came back to tell me that, unfortunately, iCal is working / not broken. I disagreed, saying that this is my business computer and not being able to send meeting invites to anyone not using a MAC is insane.
The support guy suggested I tell the developers directly, via http://www.apple.com/feedback/ical.html.
I already did that.
He suggested that you all do to. The more people who feedback, the faster we'll get a fix!

Why aren't people receiving my iCloud calendar invites from my Mac, iPhone or iPad?

Why aren't people receiving my iCloud Calendar invites? This is a problem with all my devices. I have tried the suggestions on the Community message boards to no avail. This problem has been going on for weeks.
I switched from MobileMe months ago and never had any problems until a few weeks ago. I kept thinking it would resolve itself, but it hasn't.

Apple turns into Microsoft. Very annoying same problem here. If you invite someone with a proper email address, that person should get an invite whether you use mobile me, icoud, ical standalone or entourage. Big shame for apple.

Oh now that you explain your response is clearer. Nothing is happening. No alerts, no emails. Nothing.

My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can i fix this without turning off iCloud?

My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can I fix this without turning off iCloud?
I am at a new office that uses Outlook (not Outlook Exchange) which does not sync with my mobile... I just got iCloud set up on my PC to sync my contacts, calendar, reminders, etc... The sync worked (not without flaws, but the other issues seem solvable... I think), so that i can now see all my appointments on both my phone and on my PC. The problem I am having is that iCloud moved all of my calendar items from Outlook into iCloud calendar and now when I send out meeting/calendar invites the recipients may accept them, but the meeting does not get added to their calendar. This is a huge problem and may mean that i need to turn off iCloud.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks!

I am replying to my own post here as I seem to have fixed the problem.
I do have some calendars that are shared. Some of those are shared with users who have time zone support turned on. So i activated time zone support on my iphone, then deleted my icloud subscription. I then signed in to icloud again and voila... problem solved.
It is a weird one as the other calendar views were always fine and when you opened an event that appeared in the wrong day (on list view), the correct date of the event was shown in the information...
one more bug in a complicated system I guess

Calendar invitation via email disappear?

Calendar invitation received via email just disappear without getting into the calendar?
- How can I change so they will stay in the inbox after I answered the invitation?
- Can I delete an invitation in the calendar without sending any information back to the person that invited me?

Actually, the recently released Comms Suite Update 5 (7.0.5.0.0) now has iMIP/iTIP support in Convergence 3 which allows users to accept or decline calendar invitations through email.
See New Features in Oracle Communications Unified Communications Suite Version 7.0.5.0.0 -> New Features in Convergence 3.0.0.0.0-> iMIP/iTIP Support for more information.

ICloud calendar invites not sent

When a friend sends meeting invitations, they appear not to ever arrive at the recipient.
I've been doing some research to work out why, and found a lot of discussion that basically says: if the recipient's email address is associated with an iCloud account, iCloud will always deliver the meeting request to their iCloud account (when really it should go to their email!)
For example, my email address at Gmail is associated with my iCloud account so I never receive the invited as I don't use iCloud mail. My business address which is on my own domain and not associated with an iCloud account, receives invites just fine.
Apparently there is a tickbox in iCloud settings which says to deliver the message rather than 'notifying' the user, which is meant to fix it, but this would mean my friend would have to get all of his recipients to do this! A bit ridiculous.
People appear to have been complaining about this issue for a couple of years - I can't believe Apple still hasn't changed this situation.
Unless anyone here begs to differ and knows another way around it?

To follow up on my experience, back around Nov 1st when I originally posted, I had already combed through all the findable threads of related errors and one-by-one determined none of them were applicable to my scenario. Nonetheless, I went through the step of terminating my calendars and recreating them and so forth. All that effort had no effect.
Fast forward.
While I'm not a believer in magic, I noticed sometime around Nov 27th (or thereabouts), my calendar invites were suddenly being sent. Perhaps then there is hope for others in my situation. I am confident nothing changed on my side, so perhaps Apple made some silent updates in the cloud that sorted out the issue. In any event, I wanted to report that it suddenly started functioning as desired with no action on my part.

No option to accept or deny iCloud Calendar invitations

Hi all,
A problem I've been having recently, if I share one of my calendars in iCloud with someone, they get the email notification with the link to click to 'join' the calendar, but once the iCloud Calendar interface loads there aren't any options to actually accept or deny that request.
It used to work for be before when I was sharing calendars between these same accounts but as of 2-3 days ago whenever I sent an invitation to join the calendar (not invite for any event in it - just to clarify), and the other user clicks on the link they get in their email, no option is given to accept that invitation nor does the calendar appear for them.
Anyone can offer any assistance?

This bug(?) still around... still can't share any calendars with anyone...

ICloud Calendar invitations not working

I migrated my MobileMe account to iCloud and calendar invitations are not working. When I create a calendar event and select an invitee an email is not sent to the invitee. I have tried sending invites from iCal on my MacBook Air, iPhone, and iCloud.com with no success. I tested by creating a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID and still no luck. Anyone else having this problem?

I figured out the problem.
icloud uses the apple id as the sender email address. But this is not allowed on many mail servers. Because if the target mail server receives a icloud invitation, they ask the mail server from sender email address, if the server who sends this email is allowed to do that. This will be done by the SPF record.
as an example: your apple id is [email protected], now you invite one person: [email protected]
no the email invitation will be sent from the icloud server (badger1302.apple.com) but the sender address is [email protected] now on the target side, the mail server hisdomain.com asks gmx.net, if mail server badger1302.apple.com is allowed to send email with sender address [email protected] But gmx.net doesn allow that. So most target mail server then decides to drop such emails. if email server ignore this SPF record, then the email will be acceppted.
So to bring this running, it should be possible to configure, which email should be used to send such email invitations (good would be a @me.com address), but currently the apple id will be used and there no @me.com is allowed.
an other solution is to use a apple id where you have control of the SPF record (if you have your own domain)
I hope that helps

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 :-)

I just made iCloud calendar my default, IPad calendar disapeared?

I finally switched my iPad calendar to iCloud, mainly to have the ability to invite, however at some point - either when I switched iCloud calendar on, or when I made that my default calendar my standard iPad calendar disapeared?!?! I am not sure how to recover the info that is missing (HELP!)
Also, if I use the iCloud calendar will it automatically show up on our iMac & my husbands iPhone? & how do I'm make an additional iCloud calendar? & does anyone else's calendar open blank since last big software update? Not sure if this is still an issue after iCloud switch, AS MY EVENTS ARE ALL MISSING,!!
Thx for any ideas!

When you tap Calendars, do you get a long listing of calendars? One should be iPad. Getting all synced right the first time with iCloud took me a little time and work, but now all are there. And after entering an event, after entering the time, and tap Done then select the calendar to associate with. A couple more steps than before but seems to work for me.

Not receiving icloud calendar invites or calendar sharing

I am so sorry to bring this up but I have gone through discussion after discussion and nothing seems to be working for me! This is the first time I have ever posted so any help would be greatly appreciated.
My apple ID is a hotmail.com account and it is no longer receiving calendar invites or invites to share a calendar. They worked perfectly up until around the end of January 2013 as far as I can see so this appears to be a problem that has appeared in the last couple of weeks
I have tested it with some friends and it appears that some of my invitations are working when I send them out but it appears to be hit & miss (Last night I invited someone to share my calendar and they received the invite- when they invited me I did not receive anything)
I have changed my password on appleid so it meets the new security guidelines,
I have checked my appleid to ensure that there are no other unverified e-mail addresses linked to my account,
Both my iphone and ipad have had the latest updates (iOS 6.1.2)
I have changed my appleid to a different hotmail address and then changed it back to the original one and the invites did not work.
I have logged into icloud.com on my PC but no new invites have appeared on there.
Syncing of my calendar, reminders, safari and contacts etc is still working fine between my iphone and my ipad.
Please let me know if any more detail is needed. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Are you still experiencing the issue?? Have you called Applecare?

How do i automatically import ics calendar invitations from email into apple calendar?

If you want, create a new calendar for the events.Add or delete a calendar
Choose File > Import > Import.
Locate and select the calendar file that contains the events, and then click Import.

How do I make the icloud calendar my default calendar in Outlook?

If I set an appointment inOutlook it goes to my outlook calendar but not to my iCloud calendar. Is there any way to have the iCloud calendar be the default calendar?

You can't, Outlook does not allow for subscribed calendars to be the default, unless they are Microsoft Exchange calendars.

Icloud calendar invite lotus notes

Ever since I migrated from MobileMe to iCloud last week, my calendar invites from both my iPhone and my iMac are no longer readable by Lotus Notes (my wife). This is, obviously, a big problem!
I searched the Google-verse and do not see any other mention of this.
Am I alone?

I decided to open a real problem, so I went to Support.Apple.com and within a few short clicks, Apple called me.
I accidentally hung up on them, and they called back in 2 minutes.
I then waited in the queue for a few short minutes. The person who answered, understood my problem and transferred me to the iCal department where I waited another 15 minutes.
The iCal department then did some research for 10 minutes, and came back to tell me that, unfortunately, iCal is working / not broken. I disagreed, saying that this is my business computer and not being able to send meeting invites to anyone not using a MAC is insane.
The support guy suggested I tell the developers directly, via http://www.apple.com/feedback/ical.html.

Why can't i send an icloud calendar invitation to an email with an apostrophe in it?

Please help! why can't I send an icloud invitation to an email with an apostrophe in it?

You are not doing anything wrong. Unfortunately, that's just the way that the built in mail app works. It really is a basic no frills mail app with not much to offer compared to other apps.
There are third party apps that let you create groups and email to those groups. I don't use either of these, but I've seen them recommended here in the past.
