ICloud sends out hundreds of old meeting request responses

After I signed up to iCloud, it proceeded to send out hundreds of very old meeting request responses. Some 18 months old.
How do I stop this and find out why it is happening?

The same thing happened to me. It has the potential to be embarassing as it sends emails to clients forold meetings. The emails are also being sent from my apple account emailrather than my work email. Very annoying.
I have no idea why this is occurringand can only think that it must be a glitch with iCloud?
The other strange thing is that I had already disabled calendar syncing on the day I began using IOS 5, after the initial sync.

Turn on icloud with my ipad, it spams my network with old meeting requests (2009). what gives?

turn on icloud with my ipad, it spams my network with old meeting requests (2009). what gives?

This happened to me (twice) when iCloud first came out -- and I have steered clear of iCloud ever since. But I just recently upgraded to Mavericks, and they took local sync away!! Anyone still having this issue with iCloud?? I will not send accepted messages for old meetings three times!

Old meeting requests automatically resent

We are currently in co-existence between Exchange Server 2007 RU13 and Exchange Server 2013 CU5
A few hundred users have migrated ok so far but for some a few days/weeks later some old meeting requests are resent
eg a meeting from 10-Jun-2013 was resent on 11-Nov-2014 from someones calendar
The only recent change made (post the mailbox being migrated) was a 7 year retention policy being applied to their mailbox
However, this should have no effect as the appointments are well within that period
could this be related? has anyone seen this before? there is no information in the eventlogs
thanks

Hi shapi,
Since your new question is not directly related to the original issue, it would be better if you open up a new thread for the
new question. This will make answer searching in the forum easier and be beneficial to other community

Sending an Outlook 2003/2010 Meeting Request via CF

Well, that about sums it up!
OK, a few more details: my application is sending out emails without any problems, but now the user wants to be able to receive appointment requests to the public calendar that she maintains instead of having to retype the email information that is coming to her inbox. Her ideal solution is to receive an appointment request to the public calendar which she can accept, tentatively accept, ir decline.
This public calendar (called DMV-ISB) is available to everyone in the department and we can manually add our leave information to it. However, as humans are inclined to do, no one bothers. This creates an administrative nughtmare for her and there are days she spends up to four hours coordinating the calendar.
We are currently using Outlook 2003, but expect to migrate to Outlook 2010 by the end of the year, so the solution has to be either robust or easily converted. I've tried using cfmail with the cfmailparam/cfmailpart tags, but all I get is an email, no appointment request.
Thanks in advance for your time and suggestions.

As you pointed out, the owner still has to interact with the request (although a lot less interaction than before). An email appears and the owner has to open the attachment (which is the appointment request, properly formatted!) and then accept the request.
This is frustrating because I have seen other examples where the request arrives without being "cloaked" in an email as an attachment.
If you want to do this, find an example email and view the original email message directly.

Date format in meeting request responses appears to be hardcoded to US format

Hi
When a room mailbox declines a meeting request that exceeds the booking window in days a response like this is returned.
The end date of this series of repeating meetings is too far in the future. This resource can only be scheduled up to 180 days in advance. The end date
must be before 2/7/2011.
The date returned appears to be hardcoded in US format (M/d/yyyy). I need this to be NZ date format (d/MM/yyyy). How can I accomplish this?
Thanks
Olli

FWIW, we are also having the same problem despite the room being set to the correct regional settings. Our environment is Exchange 2010 SP2

I guess, given the lack of response from MS, that it is in fact hard coded and cannot be changed. C'mon MS, can you atleast confirm this is the case?
Thanks guys

Outlook 2010 People Pane not displaying all Accepted, Tentative, Declined, or Not Responding, for meeting requests.

I have a user that sends out a local employee meeting request, so it goes out to about 100 people. She then tracks the responses by opening the event in her calendar, and looking at the information in the people pane. But this only shows her
59 responses. I was having her copy the tracking to a clipboard, then pasting it into an excel sheet. Then she could sort it to see who isn't going, or hasn't responded. but that also only populates 59 people. We use exchange server,
and she's running exchange 2010.
I'd appreciate any help, or suggestions.
thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
How many people can you see if we open the meeting and view the tracking information from OWA?
Are the missing people external meeting attendees? By default, Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 is not configured to process external meeting requests or meeting responses. Your mailbox has to be configured to process external meeting requests and meeting
responses.
For more information, please refer:

Hope this helps.

How to stop iCloud from sending meeting requests

I have a situation where an iCloud Calendar has been set up with many meetings with attendees for a business (appointments for a hair salon). We created these "meetings" by dragging people from Contacts into Calendar, thinking this was a good way to have their contact info handy.
I don't want to send people updates or requests or invites or anything - it is confusing everyone and there are some 100 meetings that were set up and if I delete the attendee to just try to turn this into a "local" meeting for strictly my reference, they are getting a message that the meeting has been canceled.
Bah!
Is there a way to just stop sending these messages?
If I just delete the calendar that has all these meetings, will iCloud send out 100 emails telling everyone that those meetings are cancelled?
Thanks for any help here....

I have tha same Problem.
I share my calender with my wife and obosolite. Allways when i change a entry in my calender my wife recive a ivation. Also on the Mac Book in ical.
All settings are on Off for sending any change.
the same was ones again wit me.com. the apple made a update and everithing was ok.

Icloud sent out reply messages for old invitations after initial sync

After starting iCloud synchronisation from my MBP i started to receive out of office messages from people that once hat sent an invitation to me, that I had accepted.
It seems, that in the process of syncing my calendar to iCloud all past meeting invitations were confirmed again by iCloud!!! One person got over 100 mails from me or iCloud respectivly.
One person got over 100 of those mails. I am using my calendar in a business enviroment and am not pleased about this behaviour. The worst thing is, that I don't even know, who these messages were sent to, there ist no sent-folder or similar as far as I know.

This has now happened to me TWICE! ACK!
The first time it happened was when I upgraded to Lion a few months back, and was more or less forced into setting up iCloud (I wasn't even sure I wanted it but thought I'd give it a test spin, but then couldn't turn it off again without it removing all my calendar entries from my local iCal). As with everyone else, all the old meeting request acknowledgments mysteriously and for no good reason went out and I looked like a complete fool (and btw, for those that are suspecting Exchange, it isn't just an Outlook/Exchange problem because I'm NOT on Outlook/Exchange, but I interact with customers that are on Outlook/Exchange and who send out meeting requests). I didn't know how to get it squared away and was afraid to touch anything for fear it would happen again until visiting a 'Genius' at the Apple Store who said that I can't synch with iTunes and iCloud, and I also have to be careful when synching between multiple devices (my wife and I share contacts and calendars from the same account on two separate iPhones). So after a frustrating and embarrassing first experience, I thought I was squared away, but then...
This past weekend, it all happened again. All the old meeting acknowledgments went out, again, to the same group of people that got them the first time! So, not once but twice, all my business contacts got meeting accepted messages from me for meetings that were as much as three years old!
Now after reading Mark J P's post, I'm not sure if it was something I did (I was attempting to synch contacts to my wife's iPhone via iTunes this weekend), or if it was just another glitchy weekend for iCloud and had nothing to do with me, but whatever the case, it boils down to two inexcusable bugs, in my opinion:
1). Meeting Accepted messages should not be sent for ancient meetings, ESPECIALLY when said messages have already been sent.
2). Users should be notified that a message is going to go out, and be allowed to decline it.
After these two totally unacceptable blunders, I wanted nothing more to do with iCloud, but when I went to turn it off, it again threatened to delete all calendar entries (though you can choose to keep your contacts when turning off iCloud, there was no way that I could see to prevent it from deleting calendar entries). So I googled around until I found a thread that told me to:
1) export all my calendars now being held hostage by iCloud,
2) create new local empty calendars, and
3) import the exported calendar data into the new local calendars.
Then, iCloud made good on its threat and deleted all my iCloud calendar data when I shut it off, and I am now able to synch my contacts and my new local calendars the way I used to -- with iTunes -- and I am finally free of iCloud's evil clutches!
I am honestly dumbfounded at how terrible this experience has been. I can't believe I am anything other than a very typical user (that shares one iTunes account for multiple devices and accepts meetings from business colleagues that use Exchange), and that Apple would release something as abysmal as iCloud to wreak the havoc that it has.

Sending Outlook Meeting Requests through Outlook using JSP?

Hi all,
I'm trying to develop a web application that's able to invoke the Create New Meeting Request dialog from the client's Outlook (they are using Outlook 2002/2003), and populate some data from server-side into the Meeting Request, so that users can customize the Request if necessary and send it out.
Have looked at a few solutions as follows:
1) HTML's mailto
This is not good, coz the body can only accept plain text, whereas I need to be able to send HTML text (which Outlook can accept).
2) Outlook View Control
This was more hopeful, as I was able to invoke the new Meeting Request dialog. However still no way to send my data to the Meeting Request :-(
Basically, what I need is to be able to send a customized Meeting Request through some means, like for example getting Outlook to do it like the above, or sending out via some Java APIs (do they exist?)
Any ideas if the above is possible at all? Or if there are other ways to do this, other than relying on Outlook?
I'm open to any suggestions, even commercial solutions, since I'm quite urgently in need of options.
Note that I can't connect direct to Exchange (there are some solutions for doing that), because of some security issues which doesn't allow me to connect to the Exchange Server.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hi whartung,
Thanks for the reply! Appreciate it.
I think what you are suggesting is exactly what Outlook View Control is. Unfortunately, as I've mentioned, it seems that Microsoft did not give it sufficient controls to be able to pre-populate a new Meeting Request. You can only invoke the Outlook UI to create the Meeting Request, but there's no APIs to populate the new Meeting Request.
Have however found a possible alternative in the meantime:
Outlook supports iCalendar files which is a standard for calendaring information storage, and it is able to process a Meeting Request from an iCalendar file which contains details of the Meeting Request.
So what I'm looking to do is this:
1) Create the iCalendar file in the backend with Java.
2) Send an email to the user(s) who is intended to receive the Meeting Request, with the iCalendar file attached.
3) User clicks on the iCalendar file, which prompts them to process the Meeting Request.
Somewhat indirect, but gets the Meeting Request across, and all the 3 steps are actually possible.
Furthur to this, it opens up the possibility of sending Outllook Contacts (which supports iCard format) through similar mechanisms as well!

How to force J2ME to send out HTTP 1.0 request

How does one force a J2ME client to send out an HTTP 1.0 request instead of an HTTP 1.1 request ?
I'd like to do this because handling 100-Continue return codes is becoming quite a chore. If the request is from a 1.0 client, the server won't send the 100-continue.
Thanks
BigAl

Hi,
From tool kit WTK2.0 you can do this by setting the preferences.
Click Edit>preferece
In Network Configuration tab you can select Http/1.0
But on real device it is implementation dependent.You can'nt choose the HTTP1.0 or HTTP1.1.
If the underlaying is a WAP stack which provides HTTP1.1 functionality then there is no way you can switch to HTTP1.0
Doesn't have idea about other bearers imode/sms etc etc

My Account keeps sending out spam

I, too, have reached the end of my tether with BT.
Almost every month, around the 28th/29th, my BT account sends out hundreds of emails to recipients whose details are stored on a very old contacts list. The messages contain links like this: http://directlenderpaydayloans.com/hvrykj/wpxajnsjhzetukayxqjilmvsqdvvulbynpgyicsc
Many of the recipients are important professional contacts and I am finding this incredibly frustrating - and humiliating, as the logical assumption is that I have somehow triggered these emails. The fact is I rarely visit BT and am desperately trying to wind down my BT email account.
I now want to close the account and remove any trace of that old contacts list that must be lurking somewhere within BT's systems.
Has anyone else experienced this appalling phenomenon?
John

Welcome to the forum. It sounds as though your email account was hacked at some time. If the hackers harvested your contacts list, they now have the details and even closing the account won't prevent them continuing to use the addresses or making it appear that their messages are still being sent from the account. If the messages are being sent by or on behalf of a genuine company it might be possible to take action against them to put a stop to the use of information obtained illegally.
You wouldn't be alone in having your BT Yahoo! account hacked - Yahoo!'s vulnerability is a major reason why BT are in the process of migrating customers to a new BT Mail service (a process which alas is not without a fresh batch of problems for some).
At the risk of appearing to be wise after the event, it's never a good idea to keep personal information in the cloud in my view. Ask the celebs who are finding their intimate photos scattered on the internet.

Denied meeting request on ical displayed on iphone

Hello,
I have a problem with the sync of my ical calendar with my iphone via icloud. When I deny a meeting request in ical on my mac it gets display with a grey icon and won't show up when i set "do not show denied events" in menu. On my iphone the request is shown with a blue icon as I would have accepted the meeting request. The detailed infos are correct, it shows myself as denied. Also on icloud.com there is the possibility to not show denied events, but this doesn't work, it still shows the denied meeting...anyone else has this problem?
A negative side effect is also that I shared my calendar and my wife also gets these denied meeting request shown up on her device.
Oh, and one more thing...when i delete a denied request, the requestor gets a second mail with my denial and there seems no way to turn that off..hm?

I've been using a service that is a handy way to work with meeting for the Mac and particularly the IPhone. The service is SMEScheduler - check it out at www.thesmespace.com/SMEScheduler.
It works on the Iphone and the Mac and allows me to schedule meeting and for users to vote on times with the most appropriate time being used as the meeting time and the emails with the Ical invitiations are automated.

To change the iCloud ID on your phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
