ICloud iCal invitations are sent out in German

My iCloud calendar invitations are sent out in German even though my icloud.com account settings say the account is managed in English. What can I do?
where is the email generated? within mail? within ical? I'm running an English version of Mac OS X 10.7.3 Lion. Mail is in English.
Could this be because the account was originally a mac.com then a mobileme and now an iCloud account. Some sort of legacy information on the account that there just isn't an option to change anymore?!
Grasping at straws here. Beyond annoying!

Found the answer - sorry guys!

Re: how to change language for ical server invitations?
Jan 23, 2012 9:43 AM (in response to philippergo)
I think I have the solution to this issue.
What Happened to me:
When I send invitations to my friends, they received the invitations in Japanese (I was in Japan for 2 years, that's when I created the MobileMe account, perhaps it is related).
I changed the language of iCloud (in User Name -> Preferences, after signing in intohttp://www.icloud.com). The language was already "English".
But the problem persisted:
My Solution:
Go to: https://appleid.apple.com, (Manage Your Account, once signed in, go to "Language & Preferences")
There, you can type in the language for your inviations (English). Check the primary and the alternate mail addresses just in case. Sometimes, if the primary mail address is not iCloud or me.com, the invitations are not sent propperly.
After that, you can save your settings. The invitations are sent in English.
Problem solved on my side.

ICal invitations are sent with work email calendar and respond to personal

Ical is set up to receive my work calendar called [email protected] Work email is a google webmail account. Office workers send invited to me from google calendar. I can accept these and they DO show on my .mac Ical.
On Ical, i have a list of standard calendar topics (home, work, school, etc). I have the shared google calendar set up as a second calendar on the ICal application. No problem.
My VCard has all work information. No personal at all. Work email, etc.
My email mailboxes for both inbound and sent Are in rank order meaning "work" email is draqgged over ".mac personal" on both scenarios.
Problem is This: When I create invites for "work calendar" , a new event pops up, "work email" shows as the Calendar and everything looks good and it does go to the invitee.
1. Invitee receives the invitation and the invite states that it is from the ".mac PERSONAL" calendar
2. My name shows as the organizer however has my personal email as the default (Not my work email as listed in my VCard)
3. Most annoying of all, my "[email protected]" email address(If clicked on by the invitee) states my Wifes name on the email address bar.
I have checked everywhere as to why my wife is showing up as the "owner" or my personal .mac account. Not anywhere on my .me account, .mac account, VCard, etc.
Help?
I want to send my invites from my work email account using Ical with the responses showing, and responding to the same work email address. Simple right?

I have to admit... Im getting frustrated.
I deleted the shared google calendar. Starting over. I created a work calendar called "MSL" under the "calendars" drop down in ical.
Created a test event, sent it to a personal account, clicked the link to accept and the link sends me to Entourage? See Below... Says iCal... Link goes to Entourage.
MSL Packaging and Fulfillment' has invited you to the iCal event: New Event Test, scheduled for December 16, 2009 at 4:00 PM (Eastern Standard Time). To accept or decline this invitation, click the link below.
I want to:
1.Sync google calendar with my [email protected] webmail account and my ICAL.
2. Send invites from my ICAL when using my work address in imail, have them send from my work address, respond to my work address, and show up on google and ical calendars.

ICal invites are not received by some people (I know why, but Apple won't fix it)

I switched to icloud a while back and have the maddening problem of SOME people not receiving invites, and have discovered what causes it (at least in my case):
If the user you are sending to has an itunes (or apple id) account with that email as the login (and that email is NOT an icloud email) they will never receive the iCal invite! Instead it gets routed to their (non setup) icloud account. If they start using icloud for their calendars with this same external email address as login, they will receive them there (directly on their calendar if it is setup). Apple refuses to forward it to their real email address, the one we are sending it to. I have reported it to Apple several times but they are not inclined to fix it, probably because they want to force external users to use icloud. This is mega frustrating. Many of my friends do not receive invites, forcing me to use Google calendar for events with those friends. I prefer the general interface and look of icloud/ical invites, but I need to be able to actually invite people!

Not for me, but let me verify the following type scenario with you:
1. Your person to invite has a gmail address ([email protected])
2. That gmail address is their Apple ID/iTunes login name (this is the most important piece)
3. They may have some icloud service on (like note syncing) but do not use icloud calendaring or mail (or may have signed up for mail but never check it)
4. Your icloud/ical invite arrives properly in their gmail inbox (at [email protected])?
Is all the above true? For me, the above scenario results in no email being received at the address I sent it to (number 4), it gets routed/lost in icloud if that is their Apple ID login.
Like I said, I do not have the issue you have, all my invites are received regardless of the email provider and user ID's I just send to the correct address and that's it. Frankly if what you said was common the service would be useless, but it works for millions. The problem is at your end, not everybody's.
The login name is just a text string to iCloud, not an address.

Why do my ical invitation acceptances send out multiple acknowledgements to the meeting intiator?

why do my ical invitation acceptances send out multiple acknowledgements to the meeting intiator?

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
So we have DSL Modem <-> Base Station <-> Computer connected by Ethernet.
Is the Modem Routing ?
Is the Base Station set to "Share An IP" ?
(i.e are there two DHCP servers on your LAN ?)
Is Internet Sharing On in th G5s System Preferences > Sharing pane ?
In the Base Station is Port Mapping Protocol Enabled if it is doing routing ?
It is in the NAT tab of the Internet Pane.
Is the G5 also doing WiFi to the Base Station ?
Also check the Modem is not Blocking PINGS as this log shows no PING (But I am not sure it even got that far)

ICloud and Twitter are greyed out in Systems. Can't access them.

iPod Touch Model PC544LL Version 5.1 30GB
Why are my iCloud and Twitter icons greyed out in Systems?
Found the answer.

A little more info is needed. How are you trying to access iCloud (via contacts, calendar, mail app)? Also check Settings>Restrictions. Not sure if turning it on would cause this, but check to be sure its not turned on.

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.

IPhone not sending iCloud iCal invites to MobileMe iPhone or iMac

Both my wife and I are using iPhone 4 with iOS 5. I am using Lion on my MacBook Pro with iCloud and she is using a iMac with Snow Leopard and MobileMe.
Is there a reason I can't invite her (she doesnt get the notification) from my iPhone to an iCal event - she doesnt get them to her to iPhone nor her iMac? But I can from my MacBook Pro??
Thanks!

Anyone?

Icloud/ical invites having trouble accepting

I have set default in ical on my imac to icloud to avoid duplications in calendar and now invite attendees can not accept invites. They receive them but there is nothing to allow them to accept.

Assuming iCloud is turned on in Lion and you're using the same Apple ID for iCloud.com and Lion, have you tried logging out of your Apple ID on iCloud in Lion and then log back in? If that doesn't work have you tried unchecking Calendar in iCloud in Lion then rechecking it?

Mail deception - says messages are sent out but are not delivered

The Mail program appears to send my outgoing e-mail messages but does not actually do so. When I send a new message or reply to a message, Mail behaves as though the message has been sent: the spinner runs and the swoosh sound occurs when the message leaves my Outbox. The message then appears in my Sent folder. However, the mail is never received by the intended recipients. I apparently operated like this for weeks until my sister mentioned my lack of response to her e-mail a couple of weeks prior. (Honest, I really did reply.) Upon investigation I learned that others had not received messages I had sent. I then tried sending a message to myself at the same account and at my work account (different ISP) and the messages were not received.
I am using a POP account at core.com. If I access my account via the core.com webmail site, I am able to actually send messages. Getting them from the Mail program on my computer is the problem.
I noticed several other questions posted about Mail not sending messages but those queries mentioned receiving an error message or the program timed out trying to send and knowing immediately the mail was not sent. My situation seems unique in that the program is behaving deceptively - it tells me a message is sent but it is not.
I followed the steps Apple posted regarding Leopard Mail not sending messages but no success. I am using OS X5.6 on an Intel MacBook.
I have spoken with the core.com technical support staff and they assure me the problems is with the Mail program or my iMac. They are most likely correct. As an experiment I set up MS Entourage as an e-mail client for my core.com account. Entourage had no trouble sending messages to intended recipients.
I have double and triple checked the settings in Mail Preferences. The core.com technical support representative confirmed I am using the correct settings and suggested I use a different e-mail client program and forget about Apple Mail. However, I understand it is not possible to export information from Mail to a different e-mail client program so I am reluctant to make the change. The representative also suggested I remove Mail and reinstall it as a way of possibly correcting the problem. I do not want to go that route if I can avoid doing so. If that is the best approach, how do I go about saving my messages and addresses in Mail before removing Mail? Other suggestions to get Mail to behave properly?
Thank you!

I am thinking your messages have been sent, but stopped somewhere along the path of server, perhaps even by your provider, due to some sudden lack of trust of your messages or identity.
Try sending a message only in Plain Text -- you could simply open one of your messages to your sister, click on Message in the menubar and choose Send Again. Then before sending click on Format, and choose Make Plain Text. Before sending click on Window and choose Activity. Watch the report of Activity as transmission of the message should be taking place.
Do you use a Signature, and if so, does it contain any links or HTML? Also, do this test only with a message you composed, and not one you Forwarded or a Reply.

Multiple duplicate meeting invitations being sent out

One of exec. admins is experiencing the issue where she sets up meeting invitations (as a delegate on behalf of one of the VPs she supports) and sends them out via Outlook 2003 from her desktop PC. She also has her exchange account on her Iphone which has verion 3 on it. Within a 24 period and usually much sooner, the same meeting invite keeps sending itself out over and over with no way to stop it. We have tried reinstalling MS Office 2003 and reimaging her PC but no resolution, even swapping Iphones. We do know that when her exchange account is completely removed from her Iphone, the entire issue goes away? Anyone else experiencing this issue and if so, any way to resolve it?

We have a similar issue happening in our organization. Our project management team all use iPhone 3G (9 of them.) We manage a team of professionals from many companies and in many timezones, and the members have been receiving way too many copies of meeting invitations from us and are getting angry. Some are forming negative opinions about our organization because of this and blaming our IT team; this needs to stop ASAP. Does the 3.1 verison repair this problem Apple?? It isnt helpful that Apple hasn't been responding to people in their forums with Exchange calendaring problems and this problem Trumps the others by far.
Any assistance would be great!

ICal invites are 1 hour off

I live in Phoenix, AZ and we do not observe daylight savings here. Everything was working before we went off of daylight savings. Now, whenever I schedule an event through iCloud or on my iPhone, and then send an invite, the person who receives the invite see's it in their calendar 1 hour earlier than the appointment actually is. Example: I will schedule an appointment for 3pm AZ MST and will invite myself to that meeting. Then I will open outlook on my work computer and see the email which will say 3pm. When I open the attachment however, it shows it as 2pm. If I adjust that time, then it sends me a reschedule for 4pm on my iPhone.
I have checked the time zone settings in iCloud and it has me down as Mountain Time and when click on it, it says Phoenix. I have checked Outlook preferences and it also has me down for (GMT-0700) Arizona. How can I fix this?

I am experiencing the same issue...also in AZ. Did you ever find a solution?

Invitations not being sent out on Calendar Server 6.3

We would be grateful for any help on this. We can give further details if needed, please just let us know.
Thanks very much.
Issue:
To our customers the calendars server appears to be fully operational and without error. However, when a customer creates a new event and invites other people to attend, no invites are sent out. The event creator, however, believes all is in order as no error messages appear and the list of invitees appears on the event. This was working recently. We have looked for things which have changed (e.g. disk space, size of files, corruption, recent patching, licenses expiring, etc) but have not yet found anything that has changed.
Some details of our system:

What we've done:
We have run db_verify and csdb -v check on the databases. ics50deletelog.db did have corruption, so we fixed that by using db_dump and db_load to export then import the databases.
We also purged the ics50deletelog.db database using cspurge afterwards when the dump and load didn't seem to have had an effect.
We tried putting the log level up in the /opt/SUNWics5/cal/config/ics.conf , but didn't get any more details when restarting the service (through /etc/init.d/sunwics5 restart)
Before we did the db_dump, db_load and purge:

Sounds like we talking about 'Event Invitations Notifications'. These are the notifications that gets sent when some one invite you to an event. Whether you receive the notification or not depends on your preference that is stored in ldap. This can be set using the Convergence by navigating through Options-> Calendar -> Notifcations (Check "Notify me via email of new invitations or invitation changes"). The actual ldap attributes that gets stored in user's entry is below.
icsExtendedUserPrefs: ceNotifyEnable=1
icsExtendedUserPrefs: ceNotifyEmail=[email protected]
In the following cases, the user (attendee) will not get notifications even if the above preference is set.
a> Creating an event with attendees in the past. CS6, by default, suppresses notifications for past events. You can enable notifications for past events by setting the config "ine.pastnotification.enable" to "yes" in ics.conf
b> If the client creating the event requests server not to send notifications. (smtpNotify wcap param for storeevents.wcap). Outlook Connector uses this wcap param, so you won't get server notifications for the events invited using Outlook Connector. Outlook Connector sends it's own notifications directly.
I think, you are looking for these kind of notifications. The process responsible for sending these notifications is "csadmind" on the Frontend. So, you need to check admin.log on the Frontend to see if it is sending notifications or not.

Non-Mac users being able to accept iCal invitations

I have sent numerous meeting invitations using iCal to non-Mac users. When they receive the e-mail, they are unable to save the invitation to their calendar or accept the meeting request. How can I fix this?

Unfortunately, .ics files, which is how iCal invites are sent +as attachments+, are not recognized by the Mail app on the iPhone. Only Apple can alter that.
You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.
Note that the New Invitation Alerts setting on the iPhone applies to calendar invites sent via MobileMe or MS Exchange (those are true calendar invites, not email attachments).

Invites are being sent via wrong emailaddress

When creating a new event in iCal, the invite is sent via the currently selected account in Mail. The problem I have is that the reactions to my invite are sent back to the wrong emailaddress.
In my addressbook I do have multiple emailaddresses attached to my card and it appears that the invite from iCal is sent from the first emailaddress on my card. Is there any possibility that I can change this?
Regards,
Sander
