Invitation Replies

I do not receive invitation replies for my invitees. I am using 3GS with iOS 5.
What I did was I tried sending out invitation to my wife (sitting beside me) and when she replies to my invitation, I do not get an notification on her reply unless I go into my email to check it manually.
Shouldnt' it be sending us the response to our calendar notification instead of email?
Thanks.

+This is my BUG Feedback to Apple:+
*Meeting Invitations on Exchange accounts not correctly accepted on Phone*
I have researched this issue on the Apple iPhone Discussion Forums and it seems to be a consistent problem.
When my Exchange account receives a meeting request, and I accept the meeting on my Desktop Mac (Entourage v12.0.0 (071130)) the phone realizes that it has been accepted and officially adds the appt to my Exchange Calendar on the phone, as it should.
The problem is within the INVITATIONS window. The meeting that has been accepted stays in the invitations window as a MAYBE, and I have to accept it again for it to go away.
Accepting the meeting again sends out another ACCEPT e-mail to the meeting organizer, so they receive 2 messages from me. If i delete the invitation, the entire calendar appt disappears.

  • ICal invitation replies don't add

    Hi,
    I can send out out iCal invitations just fine, but when the receiver respond with their calendard application, iCal does not seem to recognize it. I still have the questionmark on the left of each invitee's name.
    The replies I get look fine, they are .ics files.
    Neither does iCal automatically add these to my invitation, nor does anything happen if I double-click on the .ics file.
    When the same people send me an invitation from their end, it works just fine, they get added automatically to my iCal.
    So it's just their replies after I invited them to an event that don't seem to do anything.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Sascha

    Reply acceptance has always been flaky for me. Snow Leopard behaves better, but not perfectly.

  • ICal invitation replies stuck in mailserver (ML Server)

    I've tried to setup the iCal server on my MacMini server. Spend a lot of time to get the invitations to work. Finaly it's working but when you reply on the invitation it's getting stuck in the mailserver. I use the com.apple.calenderserver address. I'm using Kerio Connect as a mailserver. When i look in the message que of Kerio i can see the replies but they stuck. They are pointed to: [email protected]
    So it looks like there is a missing link between kerio sending it to the iCal server or the iCal server receiving it from kerio...
    Anybody know how to fix this? All help is welcome! Thanks in advance.

    Hi Jeff,
    Thanks a lot for your reply. Unfortunately it does'nt work yet. Invitations going out, no problem, same as before. Replies on invitations coming back to Kerio, see them in the message Que. After a while they disappear. It's telling me: "Result failed, Too many hops, message looping so it's still not delivering the message to the iCal server.
    Settings email invitations iCal:

  • Unable to see ical invitation replies

    Our household uses multiple Apple devices that are linked to my credit card for payment with ITunes, ICloud extra storage etc.  Our family typically sends invitations to one another from iCal to our respective iCloud addresses.  This entire process worked flawlessly until mid October when my wife, daughter, sons, etc. received invitations from me and replied.  Their devices are showing they replied, but my iCal shows them as not replying and leaves the appointment grayed out in iCal.  What is peculiar is that that there appears to by no rhyme or reason why this happens, but it was not long after we upgraded all of our machines to Mavericks.
    Thank you.

  • ICal invite replies Use Wrong Outgoing Server

    Hi There,
    I have 3 e-mail accounts in Mail.
    When someone sends me an invite it goes into iCal no problem. If I try to reply to the invite through iCal then it works ok on 2 of the e-mail accounts but not on 1.
    i.e. If someone sent the invite to account 1 it is ok.
    If they send it to account 2 it is ok
    but account 3 is the problem.
    With account 3 I get a pop-up message from Mail telling me "Cannot send message using the server xxxxx". The server to which it is referring is the server to be used for one of the other accounts.
    It won't even work if I select another server from the list.
    Any ideas?
    powerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Thanks for your help.
    I'm not entirely sure I understood your instructions though.
    I went into Mail preferences and went to the accounts section. I clicked on the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) drop down box and then went to 'edit server list'.
    From here I was able to delete 2 servers that I do not use and the other 3 servers listed were listed against the correct e-mail addresses and accounts.
    I then send an e-mail from each of the accounts to make sure I had it all set up right and each e-mail account sent and e-mail and received an e-mail without a problem.
    Then I went back to iCal to accept an invite and it tried to send it using the wrong outgoing server for that e-mail account and I had the same problems as normal.
    Any other ideas?

  • Invitation replies-annoying  problem

    When I change the status of an "invitation" event that I have placed on my calendar to "accept," the color of the event remains gray unless I email my acceptance. I don't want to email acceptances in most instances. Any way to address this annoying problem?
    iBook G4 1.42GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Hi,
    I had a poke around on my system and even though the event is shown as being in a certain calendar it is actually stored somewhere else until it is accepted. The colour comes from being within a calendar. As an example uncheck all the calendars in your calendar list, the un-accepted event will still be there.
    It may be better for you if the sender of the invitations Control-Clicks the event and chooses 'Mail Event' instead of using the email invitiation process.
    Best wishes

  • Unable to "invite" in ical on exchange server

    I am able to receive and accept invitations, but am unable to "add attendees" to a calendar event in ical. I feel like I am 90% there, just need someone to help with ical settings.

    The handling of invites in general is incredibly flawed. My colleagues can send invite replies back to me that don't get processed at all (yes, I have the box in Mail ticked) - from iCal!
    The worst part is, there's no way to manually update the status of invitees, so I'm stuck with pen and paper. AU$4000 notebook computer and I have to use paper...
    Lame Apple!

  • Accepting invitations and the reply-to email address

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how to change the 'reply-to' address for ical invitations. When I send an invitation from my home mac the person I am inviting replies to my work address (which is a PC and I don't want my home invitations going to my work computer). When I get an invitation it is impossible to change the reply to address to ensure it gets sent back to the correct email address. The annoying thing is it doesn't even get sent back to the address it came from.
    Russell

    Hi Dan,
    The address it replies to is in on the 'Me' card on my address book but it is not the email address the invitation was sent through SMTP. For my wife and I the replies are sent to our work addresses which are both configured on Windows PC's. Hers is an exchange address and mine Lotus Notes.
    The whole thing is very frustrating, I send the invitation from my 'Home' calendar from my .mac account but her acceptances all show up on my work Lotus Notes email account which doesn't have the original invitation in the calendar.
    The invites get sent from .mac but the acceptances go back to a totally different address.
    The only work around I have found is to take Mail offline open the acceptance in the OutBox and change the address in the To field which is annoying.

  • ICAL Email notification, stuck on communication with email server

    Hi,
    I know there is a ton of of these iCAL issues...
    I was able to get by some initial issues and now am stuck at the email notifications not able to send.
    Sending updates to an external address starts this chain of attempts to contact the mail server to send out the update. It repeats the following two segments repeatedly.
    My cal error log shows:
    2010-09-19 16:54:12-0700 [-] [caldav_task] 2010-09-19 16:54:12-0700 [-] [calendarserver.sidecar.task#debug] Checking for tasks

    2010-09-19 16:54:12-0700 [-] [mailgateway] 2010-09-19 16:54:12-0700 [IMAP4DownloadProtocol,client] [twistedcaldav.mail.IMAP4DownloadFactory#debug] Scheduling next IMAP4 poll
    My mail access log shows:
    Sep 19 16:48:52 beta dovecot[3149]: pop3-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=<iCAL Server IP>, lip=<Mail Server IP>
    Sep 19 16:48:52 beta dovecot[3149]: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=20637
    Sep 19 16:53:42 beta dovecot[3149]: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=<iCAL Server IP>, lip=<Mail Server IP>
    Sep 19 16:53:42 beta dovecot[3149]: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=20639
    The attempts to send notifications do not reach the SMTP.
    My settings are correct in the notification settings (I created in OD and confirmed POP/IMAP/SMTP settings with mail clients), both POP/or IMAP (either don't work at this point) and SMTP are using SSL.
    The keychains com.apple.servermgr_calendar and .invitations both list the same system account with the password populated. The only difference is that .invitations carries the FQDN after the username ([email protected])
    I had seen with the default com.apple.calendarserver, it did more or less the same thing...
    From what I could research, the "(no auth attempts)" seems to suggest the gateway or mail server is not accepting the method or has all methods of authentication closed... However this shouldn't be the case, both mail server and ical have SSL use set in their respective settings...
    *(I understand that caldavd.plist has the option to hold a plain text password... however this is not currently in my caldavd.plist and I do not wish to use it. My mail server is set to only work with MD5 however... Issue perhaps?
    Any advice so I can catch up to where everyone else is stuck at would be pretty cool!

    I attempted to use com.apple.calendarserver again, but it does not authenticate at all on the mail server.
    Both my created and the com.apple. seem to be stuck in only being able to authenticate in PLAIN. I have given in on this and enabled the PLAIN authentication. From here the server log said com.apple.calendarserver had the wrong authentication. I don't see how this can be the case... (the mail server is a OD replica itself)
    So I went into WGM and merely re-pasted in what I had recorded onto the local account. The WGM goes on and on about how this com.apple.calendarserver is only a local account, but I don't see any way to make an OD account (I'm not sure if this is even critical) anyway so I'll leave it be.
    So now both email and normal across-OD invitations function.
    On invitation replies however I get this message in the mail access log:
    deliver(com.apple.calendarserver): Sep 26 02:54:12 Info: msgid=<[email protected]l.outsi dedomain.com>: saved mail to INBOX
    Sep 26 02:54:12 beta push_notify[2709]: error: <iq id='10003' to='[email protected]/push_notify' type='error' from='pubsub.beta.mydomain.com' xmlns='jabber:client'><pubsub xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub'><publish node='/Public/IMAP/beta.mydomain.com/portnum/Mailbox/C8BA4F7E-6E65-4C97-8BCC-BC 3D28FAFE4B'><item><plistfrag xmlns='plist-apple'/></item></publish></pubsub><error type='cancel' code='404'><remote-server-not-found xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas'/></error></iq>
    Otherwise it seems the SMTP sees the invitation reply and regurgitates back to the com.apple.calendarserver mail... What happens to it from there is a mystery.

  • How do I modify the default account for events in iCal?

    I have several email accounts (for biz&home) and I want to use them, depending on the event, as the account from where an invitation from iCal is sent. So if a have a football game with friends, I want to use my personal account when sending an iCal event. But when I want to make a biz meeting, I want to use my work account in that invitation. How or where can I make these selections/options appear? Is it possible?
    If not, how can I set the default account for invitations in iCal? (I already have a "default" account in Mail, but iCal is not using that account for invitations).
    Any help is appreciated

    Hi salazar2,
    Been dealing with a similar issue for about 3 years now, so I know your pain. I founded a company in 2009 called Zamain that is focused on making Mac calendaring more productive. Our first product, Zamain for Mac, solves your problem as well as Apple iCal to Microsoft Outlook/Exchange incompatibilities. The current version includes the following features:
    * Sends iCal invitations that Outlook users can actually open
    * Sends invitations from any email account
    * Lets you add comments to invitation replies
    * Makes timezones actually work
    * Prevents weird attachments from appearing in your invitation emails
    Although I know that this is a shameless plug for my product, I urge you to give it a try because it will really make your life easier. We have a happy user base, are actively developing new solutions, and are always open to suggestions.
    You can get Zamain for Mac at www.zamain.com.
    Thanks!

  • Preventing ical from sending response to organizer

    I been sending some of my (outlook)work meetings to my home email to import them into iCal at home. However iCal insist on sending a response to the meeting organizer.
    Is there a way to block this behaviour (sending a response)?
    It causes confusion and concern as they do not know my home email address and it also inflates the number of invitees in the eyes or the organizer.
    Thanks
    PB 15   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Hi,
    There is a way to open all invitation replies in Mail, so you can choose to send a reply or not. You will need admin rights on the machine and it will involve changing an Applescript file inside iCal's application package. Also I suppose some experience of using Script Editor would be handy.
    Please make sure you know what you are doing. If you need any more explanation, post back.
    * Control-Click the iCal Application in the Finder.
    * Choose 'Show Package Contents' from the contextual menu.
    * In the new window that appears go to Contents/Resources.
    * In here find the file called 'Mail.scpt'.
    * Make a copy of this file and save it somewhere safe (in case somthing goes wrong).
    * Double click the original 'Mail.scpt' file, it should open in Script Editor.
    * In the script there are six handlers: showmailsbrs, showmailsbr, sendmailsb, sendmailsbr, sendmailsbrp and sendmailsbp. These all start with the word 'on'.
    * In the handler that starts 'on sendmailsbrp(subjectLine, messageText, myrecipient, invitationPath)' find the line: send mymail
    * Replace this with the following six lines:
    -- Altered to open notifications in Mail.app without sending
    -- Original line quoted out below.
    -- send mymail
    set visible of mymail to true
    activate
    -- End Altered to open notifications* Save the script and you're done.
    Your replies to invitations should now open in Mail for you to choose if you want them sent or not.
    I hope this helps

  • Windows user - outlook - no free/busy info

    Howdy,
    So working with SL server. Thus far very happy with it, but running into one issue. I've got a windows user, that is using his iCal (calDave) calendar thru outlook. He is unable to see free/busy information, whereas my mac users can see it. Is this a configuration issue, or just a 'you can't get there from here' issue.
    I can provide more information if it is needed.
    ST

    I did configure the outlook user to use the iCal service.
    What I did was, login to the web server, login as the user (all of this done from end users windows machine), go to their calendar, hover over the calendar name in the upper left side of the page, and an italic 'i' will appear, click on that, and an info box for that ical account will appear. click on 'subscribe to ical' It should then give you the option of what app to open this in/for. Choose outlook. It should then give you a window of subscribe to calendar url. Now i'm not in front of a windows box right now, so am working from memory. I believe in outlook you subscribe to web calendar, and paste in the url, it should look something like this webcal://serverhostname.domainname.com:8008/calendars/_uids_/144BB4E3-35CB-4F1E-BEB9-2B20E4B6B139/calendar.
    Now this should allow them to retrieve calendaring information to outlook. If you want them to push their free busy schedule back, I believe you select the account, and right click and select 'publish', that will push their availble schedule to the server.
    Now this is all somewhat dependent on you having mail internal, you will have to jump thru some hoops for invite replies if you have externally support mail.
    I may not have these steps in all the right order, and may have been inaccurate in my instructions, so if I am, query back and I'll try to step thru it when on a windoze host.

  • Replies to invites and deleting calendar events

    This is for Apple and whoever else wants to chime in:
    I would like Apple to provide the functionality for me to stop sending replies that accept, decline etc... invites. After the nightmare I went through with the mobile me upgrade (which sent over 1000 emails to people for old invitations when Apple helped me fix it) - I no longer can use ical reply checker. I own my calendar and do not think the software should be deciding without my knowledge and without keeping a copy - who to send emails to.
    Also - I want to be able to delete invites off my calendar that I did not create without having the creator send me an update.
    Please address these issues - the calendar belongs to me and this is functionality I should have control over. People have been complaining about this for years
    Thank you -

    Greetings,
    That behavior suggests that the events were not actually duplicated. Instead you were seeing 2 visual representations of the same real event. A ghost of sorts.
    First make an iCal backup, File > Export > Archive.
    Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
    __NOTE: Removing these files will remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
    Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
    Hope that helps.

  • Not sending replies on calender invites

    I have a problem with my iCloud calenders.
    When i get an invitation to a meeting i get an e-mail which has an attached .ics file. When I press it, it gets into calender and I can choose maybe decline or accept which is all fine.
    Then problem is that it does not send a confirmation e-mail to the person who invited me. What is wrong?
    It does not matter if it is on my mac, iPhone or iPad that I accept it. Besides that on my mac it automatically goes to the calender which is the third on the list, even if it is not the default one...

    A spammer is masquerading as you by using your "good name" email address as the apparent sender of his spam.

There is nothing that you can do about it except set up a junk rule that if "from" address contains "MAILER-DAEMON" or whatever is common in the sender name of the error messages that the victim mail servers are bombarding you, to delete it immediately, and also work with your ISP, as you did, so the ISP can filter them out at his level before pushing them down the pipe to you.
    So how exactly would the solution they used have worked? Wouldn't there still be a flood of messages reporting delivery errors because the spammer would still be spoofing the email address? I don't know much about this so I'd like to understand your explanation a little better.

  • ICal invitations - forced replies?

    Hey, I've recently started using iCal to receive meeting requests from work. These meeting requests are sent quite often and go to lots of people. Therefore, the person sending them doesn't want us to respond via email since it overwhelms his inbox. In Entourage, I can accept the item and choose not to reply. In iCal, this does not seem to be an option. The item stays grayed-out until I hit the reply button, even if I've "accepted" the event. Is there a way to have these items no longer grayed-out without emailing the sender?
    Matthew
