Inviting attendees to a new Ical event via iPhone

Does anyone know how to invite attendees when one enters the original appointment directly from the iPhone?

Hi there,
only two ways I can think off, you either have to tick the "Show action" when run button...which will allow you to change the date. But this requires you to do it, so not very automatic !
Daft question, but have you built the workflow and does it always have the same date, when saved as an Application and run on different days ?
Or use a GUI AppleScript, I can't see anything in the iCal dictionary that lets you create a new event...
So depending on your needs, you could add in a "Run AppleScript"
tell application "iCal"
activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "iCal"
keystroke "t" using command down
delay 1
keystroke "n" using command down
end tell
end tell
end tell
It would open iCal, then go to today and create a new event.
It all depends on your full workflow really. It can be tweaked to suit.

Ric

Cannot add new iCal events on my iPhone 3G.

My iPhone 3G has stopped saving new iCal events. I can still set up new events in iCal on my laptop, and they'll sync over to my iPhone, but new events won't save when entered into iCal on my iPhone. Any idea what's wrong and how to fix this?
BTW, I just got rid of a MobileMe account. I never ended up using MobileMe, so it doesn't seem like that should be the issue here, but I noticed that some other folks have had iCal sync issues with MobileMe, so I thought I'd add that info.

In other words, it's hacked.
Sorry, you can't get help here.
Say for an instance, that it wasn't hacked. Would you suggest to just wipe and restore it?

Create new iCal event from contents of mail uses wrong date

I received an email today with an appointment using the date "6/3/2010 at 4PM". Being from the US, it is obvious to me that this meeting should occur on June 3, 2010, but when I attempt to create a new iCal event with this date it creates the event on March 6, 2010. Even more confusing is that when I choose "Show this date in iCal" it highlights March 7, 2010!
My question is:
Shouldn't the system default to a month/day/year date preference everywhere when I've selected US English in the internationalization preferences pane?

have a very similar question: is there somewhere an application where I can, when receiving an email, put it into iCal so that I am reminded about it in a week or something?

In mail "create new ical event" has stopped appearing in ical

Please help! I love clicking on data in email to bring up the "Create New iCal Event" box, and using it to put new events into my ical calendar. But recently when I "Create New iCal Event" from an email, and click "add to iCal" the window closes but the event doesn't show up in iCal. I can still add events by clicking on a calendar date in iCal and typing them in, but the link between Mail and iCal seems to be broken. How can I fix it?
Could this be related to how Firefox recently broke? Foxfire will not save bookmarks any more, either, I click on "Bookmarks," then "Bookmark this page". The window closes but the bookmark does not save. Also, the forward/backward browser arrows no longer work on Foxfire.

Could you be more specific? What happens (or fails to happen?)

Why do I have the Invite Attendee option in some calendar events and not in others?

I just entered a lot of kids' activities into my Blackberry and couldn't send them to my husband's--the option was not there. I have previously been able to do this. In events that I entered prior to tonight, the invite attendee option is still there, even if I hadn't invited anyone yet. In each event that I entered tonight, the option is not there. I recently installed the newer version of Facebook. My husband changed his facebook options (unchecked the box connecting his facebook account with the blackberry calendar application) and his invite attendee option returned. I tried the same thing, and it did not work. I also went under default services and changed the calendar (CICAL) to an email address instead of facebook, and that also did not work. I don't know if I have BES or BIS--how do I find out? I have tried checking to see if the desktop organizer is using the blackberry wireless synch as mentioned in a previous post, but that isn't an option next to calendar (only ASCII Importer/Exporter or Yahoo).

Please tell me who is the email provider, Google, Yahoo, etc.

Houston, we have a problem! The first version of Facebook that came out, had a bug that changed the default CICAL
to Facebook. In Default services the CMIME and CICAL should match the main email address, that is also the main
address on your PC.
Go to the calendar and once started, menu key, options. Calendar options is the name of the screen. You will see a calendar
for each email address, and one for Facebook. Highlight and click each calendar, not the number of records in each.
If you a a calendar for Device Default, let us know the records for that one as well.

If your phone is a personal phone you setup your self, you're most likely BIS. I don't think this will be related to
the wireless sync. Please tell me what Calendar do you sync with. Outlook, Yahoo, etc.
Please go to options, advanced options, applications. Find Facebook and click on it, scroll down and tell me what
version it is. OK?
Thanks,

How can I make new iCal events default to 1 hour long?

Please help me love my iCal again. How can I set it up so that the default for a new event is an hour long instead of EIGHT?!? Why on earth does iCal think a new event should be eight hours long? It's especially annoying at night. Add a new event at 9PM and iCal sets an end for 5AM and rolls it into the next day, which means I have to change the end time and change the end date every time I add a new event.
Seriously, who designed this thing? Here's a perfect example of bad design (which, coming from Apple is shocking!): In the menu, click New Event. Does iCal create a new event? No. It draws a box arrow pointing to the big plus sign. Are we sure Microsoft didn't design this thing?
I'm a diehard Mac Guy for over 17 years. But I must say, I'm disappointed with some aspects of Lion. Yikes. (sorry... I needed to vent!)

I probably should have noted that I'm using iCal in the month view. Maybe that's why my iCal thinks every new event is eight hours long? The previous iCal didn't behave this way.
And, yes, a menu item titled New Event that opens a box where I can create a new event rather than actually creating a New Event is bad design. It adds extra steps. It feels like a Microsoft thing where you click on something and then get asked if that's really what you wanted to do. When I click New Event, I want a new event to open so I can input the details including calenrar, alarm, repeating data, notes, etc. Sure, if I wanted a quick option, I'd go for the + sign to add one. But when it comes to having to change calendars or add extra info, making me go through extra steps is poor design.
There's a lot to like in the new iCal, but pushing the app away from design simplicity for VISUAL simplicity is poor design for a desktop OS app. On a three inch screen like the iPhone, it makes perfect sense. It's brilliant, in fact. But on a desktop OS? I completely understand the idea of merging iOS with OS X, but a motorcycle is not a tractor trailer even though they both have engines. To treat them as such is poor design.
Another example: in iCal, it's easy to hide calendars you may not need to see. That's a great feature. In the previous iCal, there was a pane that showed which calendars were visible and which were not. Now, if you're looking at a month, you have no way of seeing that there may also be more events that are hidden without clicking the calendars for a popup to display which are visible and which are not. I'm no Mac basher. I have a series of the black & white "Think Different" prints framed and hanging on my walls. I love Apple, but the new iCal is poor design.

New iCal event

What is the quickest way to create an ical event? I find it is a 2 stage process. First clicking to add and event, then clicking again to edit to set the stand and end times etc. Surely adding a new event should be a single stage process.

This seems to be a design choice, eliminating the sidebar that had all the editing info available on the right in the previous version. I guess this unclutters the screen a bit, but the downside is that you need to call up that editing window... That's all I can think of... Seems like many things that should be user preferences are not user definable (like my pet peeve, wanting the color that highlights the current day in month view - it's too pale - I have to tip my laptop screen back to be able to even see it. Wish I could set that color...)

Help....duplications of ical events on iPhone and only syncing from mac to iPhone?

Hi,
Has anyone got any suggestions for fixing this problem.....
My iPhone syncs with my Mac perfectly via iTunes apart from iCal, which is giving me real grief! iCal on my mac is in perfect order and syncs events to my phone but my phone has duplicate and triplicate events and even events in different states of being edited. The iphone doesnt sync events made in it back to the mac either.
It syncs contacts etc. fine, just not iCal events.
Is there an easy way of fixing this or even totally reseting iCal on the Mac and iPhone so it clears this up? (obviously, I need to keep my calendar events though)
I've tried replacing the info on the phone, reseting the phone, changing to iCloud syncing and back again and I even upgraded to the iPhone 5 (which I was going to do anyway )
I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.8, iCal 4.0.4, iTunes 11.0.2 and I was on an iPhone 4 and now iPhone 5. It's been happening for two months now and it's getting really frustrating!
Thanks for any help in advance

This fixed my problem - finally!!

Ical events on iphone but not on macbook ical...

My ical events on my macbook are not showing up, but they show up in ical on my iphone. I've tried syncing and this is not adding my events back to ical on my iphone. Please help!

I read your original message again.

They show up on the iPhone but not on the Mac? In what calendar do these events show on your iPhone, a iCloud/CalDAV calendar or an "On My iPhone" calendar?
I've tried syncing and this is not adding my events back to ical on my iphone. Please help!
Are you trying to get them back on your iPhone or back on your Mac?

How to copy/paste an ical event on iPhone?

In iCal on my computer I can copy an event from one day and paste it on another day. I can not find a way to do this in iCal on my iPhone. Am I missing something, or is this not possible in iCal on the iPhone? Thanks!

Hi,
I don't think it is possible to do that in iOS 5.
Best wishes

ICal on macbook pro won't sync iCal events from iPhone 5

I've synced/backed up my iPhone 5 with iTunes within the past hour.
After it finished, I went onto iCal on my macbook pro and saw that it didn't have events my iPhone 5 had.
So then I went to settings and changed the iCloud settings so that it would back up iCal.
But even after that, it took too long to back up and it failed at backing it up.
So I googled how long iCloud takes to back up and realized that the more I had for it to back up, the longer it takes.
Now I'm down to 500-something mb for iCloud to back up. It's still taking a long time.
THEN I googled to see if anyone else has had any problems with syncing iCal.
There was one person who deleted iTunes 11.0.1 and downgraded to the 10 version.
Is there any way for me to sync/backup my iCal on my macbook pro with iCal events from my iPhone 5, vice versa?
(Other than downgrading, if there is one)

Your signature says you have 10.3.x but presumably this can't be correct - could you please make sure it's correct to prevent confusion. 10.7.2 is required for iCloud - your Mac won't be able to sync with pre-Lion systems.
The fact that you have iCloud accounts showing does suggest you have Lion: are they showing in System Preferences>iCloud, or where? You can only enter one there.
Are the two different or the same? You could try deleting both and then starting the setup again from scratch.

How to duplicate iCal events on iPhone?

Is it possible to duplicate/copy an eventy in iCal on your iPhone and then paste it to another date? This is easy in iCal on my Mac, but I can not seem to find a way to do it on my new iPhone. Thanks.

Not sure, but you might want to check your calendar on your iPhone under Clendars button (top left), then see if you have a check mark next to more that one calendar named "Calendar". If so, try unchecking the one under On My iPhone and see if that removes the duplicates.

Ical events on iphone 5S will not sync to desktop

I have an iphone 5s operating 7.0.4. My ical events will not not USB sync to my desktop OS 10.6.8. My itunes version 11.1.3. Any ideas?
Thanks

No you shouldn't have to ever repurchase anything.
I would go, on the mac, in iTunes, go to iTunes store section. Sign into you apple id, and over towards the right hand side bar you'll see a section titled 'quick links' look for purchased and click on that.
At that point, you should see your purchase history and be able to re download them right to your mac here.
You'll also want to authorize your computer with your apple id(s) by clicking 'store' and going to authorize this computer and sign into your apple id(s)
At this point all should be well.
Might turn on auto downloads on your mac as well byt going clicking 'ituned' in the upper left corner of your display, going to preferences, click the store tab, then check mark all that applies about half way down.
Hope this helps 
