IOS 6 Exchange calendar invitations not working

I like a lot the improved calendar invitations layout in iOS6, but for the life of me I can't seem to get it to work.
The new buttons do not seem to do anything.
My calendar is running under Exchange and I would like to know if any other users have managed to 'accept, decline or maybe' invitations on iOS6 with Exchange?
Many thanks

have had what I think is similar issue.... on both ipad and iphone. Running IOS6. Have gmail account setup through exchange connector. IOS receives and accepts invites just fine from external devices.... If i create a new invite on the IOS device and add invitees with external email addresses, once this calendar invite is saved into the diary it doesnt trigger invites to go out to those 3rd parties... but the invite definitely is in the calendar as can also see it on mast google calendar.
If I then go and move the timing of the invite that has been created on the IOS device (by holding down and dragging to new time) this then immediately triggers an invite (new Invitiation, not reschedule) to be sent to the external email addresses... any further modification to timing of invite then triggers 'reschedule' calendar invites to go out - so expected behaviour.
The issue is that IOS is not triggering the invite to go out to external parties who have been added to a newly created invite - and it only does this when the date/time of the invite is modified.
Spent about 1.5 hrs on phone to apple support yesterday - they have now passed on to 3rd level support....
Are others seeing the same behaviour as above?

Exchange calendar invites not synching

We have an iPad 2 (iOS 5.1.1) that is having calendar sync issues with Exchange (2010) calendar invites. The issue is, when an invite is processed in Outlook, it stays in the iPad calendar “inbox” as if it has not been processed. Some of the events will have the correct response shown (accepted, tentative, declined), others will not show any type of response.
Doing some web searches, it seems that there is a known issue with the iOS 5, but I’m curious if you know when this will be fixed, or if there is a work-around?
By removing the calendar from the mail account on the iPad, it resyncs all events correctly, but over time the invite issue comes back…
Anyone seen this or have a work-around?

I'm not sure this is what you want to hear, but we tell our users to accept all invitations for meetings they want to attend regardless of where they appear...

Exchange Calendar availability not working after upgrading to Mountain Lion

After upgrading to Mountain Lion cannot longer see calendar availability on my Exchange account, before upgrading it worked ok - anyone has the same problem?

Had the same problem on 2 Macs (iMac and MBP) after downloading ML last night, could not access my Exchange calendar via iCal. Deleted the accounts from iCal, then reloaded them, now all seems to work

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

Post-Snow Leo Upgrade: Calendar Invites Not Working in Mail

In Mail, anytime I get a calendar invite, it shows up above the header with the nifty iCal icon, the meeting details and the options to accept, decline or maybe it. Click and accept all I want, but the meeting invite NEVER propagates over to iCal.
We just upgraded to 10.6.2 to take advantage of the Exchange protocol.

Calendar invites not working (mostly)

I am getting inconsistent behavior using Calendar 5 and I'm not sure why. This is paired with Calendar Server using Mountain Lion Server.
Whenever our secretary sends out events to the entire office (using a group in Contacts.app which is pullling contacts from a network user on Lion Server) nobody gets them. If she sends to invites to people in that group individually, they do get it.
Here's what I've found from my own testing:
1) Create group on server using Server.app, add network users to that group, send invite to that group from Calendar.app on client computer = works great
2) Create shared group* on client computer Contacts.app, add users to group in Contacts.app, send invite to that group from Calendar.app on client computer = works sometimes, sometimes doesn't work
*Shared group and users in group comes from server network user account we all have access to in our Contacts.app preferences.
3) Create shared group on client computer Contacts.app, add users to group in Contacts.app, send invite to that group from Calendar.app on client computer = works sometimes, sometimes doesn't work
4) Create shared group on client computer Contacts.app, add add single user to group in Contacts.app (whose name appears with question mark by it in Calendar.app no matter what time for the event), send invite to that group from Calendar.app on client computer = recipient does not get invite*
*Recipient is using iCal in Lion, but this was not an issue before Mountain Lion.
Setup
Mac Mini Server with Mountain Lion Server
Client computers with Lion and Mountain Lion (iCal and Calendar, AddressBook and Contacts)
Server-side user account established strictly for creating/ adding shared contacts from client AddressBook.app/ Contacts.app; shared by everyone having access to that account in AddressBook.app/ Contacts.app account preferences.
Server-side users that I added to a group using Server.app were the same users with the same primary email address as the users and groups used inContacts.app that Calendar.app referenced. I made sure to create unique group names so that when adding invitees I knew whether the group was created server-side or created server-side through the client-side Contacts.app

The difference between case 1 and cases 2-4 are that in 1 the client is letting the server expand the group membership, and in 2-4 it's the client doing that expansion. The group members returned by the server when it expands the group are "guaranteed" to work because the server definitely knows about them (and providing them to the client). In the cases where it's the client adding the attendees, I suppose there must be some mismatch sometimes, although I don't know what that could be if the email addresses are the same between the users you've created via Contacts.app and the users you've created via Server.app.
I actually tried this setup and it was working fine. What caused you to want to duplicate the users and groups that you have in Server.app into Contacts.app?

Exchange calendar invitations accepted in IOS remain "new" in iCal

My work calendar and email is based on Exchange. I manage both from a Mac (using Outlook 2011 for Mac) and an iPhone 5 running IOS 7.latest.
It works just fine. If I accept an invitation on any platform is is accepted on all. Then I look at OSX Calender (which I will refer to as iCal) and I still see a mass of invitations (the ones that I accepted on my phone or using Outlook).
I use iCal because I share calendars with the rest of my family using iCloud. So that I can view my work and home calendars in one place, I have also set up iCal to see both iCloud and Exchange calendars.
The iCloud side of the house does what I want it to do. The problem comes with the way iCal deals with calendar invitations from my Exchange account. Here goes:
I receive an Exchange calendar invitation.
I process it (accept/tentative/decline) using Outlook on the Mac or the IOS Calendar on my iPhone.
The invitation on the device I didn't use goes away.
I open iCal.
The "new" invitation is still there in iCal waiting to be processed, the only way to clear it is to accept/tentative/decline it.
I cannot find any setting to prevent this from happening. iCal seems to ignore changes in status of Exchange invitations.
Any ideas gratefully accepted! Thanks, Charlie

IOS 7 Calendar does not show appointments imported as VCS files in Microsoft Outlook / Exchange. Any solutions?

iOS 7 Calendar does not show appointments imported as VCS files in Microsoft Outlook / Exchange in Windows 7. I discovered this when downloading itinerary.vcs files from Delta to mark flights in my calendar. The work around I found is as follows:
Open the VCS file, this will create a Calendar entry in your Outlook,
Open the created Outlook Calendar entry, go to File -> Save As and then select to save as ICS file.
Delete original VCS-created appointment in your calendar to avoid multiple calendar.
Open the re-saved ICS file.
Appointment will now correctly synchronize with your iPhone iOS 7 calendar.
If anyone has better alternatives to this process, please help out. Hopefully, Apple will fix this with the next iOS update.

Calendar Invitations Not Showing in "Inbox"

Hello Everyone,
I'm trying to get my iCloud Calendar to work on my iPhone 5 with iOS8. You'd think this would be pretty straightforward, but apparently not!
This worked great when my wife and I were both using Exchange hosted email accounts from our ISP. I'm trying to drop the Exchange hosting for my account and if I can do so successfully, my wife will likely do the same, but I'm running into some issues here!
Problem: (after removing Exchange account keeping Outlook.com and iCloud accounts)
When creating a new Calendar item and inviting my wife, she doesn't receive any email with an invite to the Calendar item.
When my wife creates a new Calendar item in Outlook on her computer running Windows 8.1 and sends me the invite (to either my iCloud or Outlook accounts), I receive it in email, but it doesn't show up in the Calendar "Inbox" for me to "Accept" the item. If I open the invite in the email all I can do is "Add to Calendar". Again, this worked fine when trying to use my Exchange hosted email account.
Config:
I have an iCloud and Outlook.com email addresses with the Outlook one setup as my iTunes ID and my iCloud account setup as an alternate email.
On my iPhone I have iCloud setup to sync everything
In my Mail config for my Outlook.com account on the phone, I have it set for Mail only (no Calendar).
My goal is to use the default iCloud Calendar for myself and the Family Calendar for us to share. However, there will be times when I will need to invite my wife or kids to items in my main Calendar so I need this to work!
If I turn on Calendar syncing for my Outlook.com email in iOS then Calendar invites to that address work as expected and show up in the Calendar "Inbox". I've tried removing all of my accounts and only leaving my iCloud account on the phone and still having the exact same issue. Any ideas? This is really frustrating!
Thanks,
-Jeff

I have the same problem and also a few guys in this thread Issue using Google Calendar on iOS 8 (iPhone 6)

Ios 7 calendar does not show events 2 years in the future

Why does ios 7 calendar does not show events 2 years in the future?
I've entered the events more than twice and it all shows up in the OSX calendar but not on my iphone.

Just tested it works even 3 years ahead.
Tap Calendars (bottom, middle) is All iCloud selected (tick mark)?

Why are my calendar invites not in sync?

Does anyone know how to fix Exchange calendar invites that aren't staying in sync? There are many invites that I've either accepted or declined in Outlook on my work machine, but still show up as unresponded in the Calendar app on my home Mac. If I try to delete them, it's sending "decline" invites to people and sometimes these invites are weeks or months past.

Calendar app not working on iPhone 5

Hi,
My calendar does not work on my iPhone 5. It initially only showed one of my calendars. I turned iCloud calendars off and back on and it temporarily showed my other calendars, but they disappeared again. Events that I enter on my calendar directly on my phone have disappeared as well.
Anyone have this issue and found a fix for it?

Never mind on this. I found the issue.
I should have been configuring the Google account on the iPhone by using the "GMail" option instead of the "Exchange" option.
