IPhone automatic calendar invites

Is there a way to disable automatic calendar invites?
For instance, I'll tell Siri "schedule dinner with Molly tomorrow at 6pm" and it will send Molly an invite if I have email in the contact. As I mostly use my calendar to remind me I don't need, or want, to send the other person an invite most of the time. If I do, I could always do it manually.

I ended up going to the Apple store to see if they could fix this problem.  The Apple tech seems to think this may be an issue with iOS 6 and the way that the iCloud and my @att.net email address interacts.  The work around was to create an iCloud email address and send the invitations to that address.

  • IPhone 5 synced to Exchange sends automatic email when I RSVP to a calendar invite. I don't want that.

    I have an iPhone 5 that is synced to my work's Exchange server for my contacts, calendar, and emails. When I RSVP to a calendar invite the phone automatically sends an e-mail to the sender. Many times I do not want to send an e-mail. For example I may not attend a specific meeting but I still want it on my calendar. I have to accept the invite in order for the event to remain on my calendar. How do I turn off that feature? Please help. IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!

    Did you find a solution to this? I'm having the same problem. My default account is my work account, but Calendar invites are being send from my icloud account.
    Setup: OSX 10.8.3, Calendar app

  • IPad/iPhone Calendar Invites have wrong dates

    When I create a calendar event on Outlook 2010 and it that spans into more 1 day, Ipad/Iphone shows the invite as 1 day late.  For example, created a meeting that spans from Monday @2:00 pm through Tuesday 4:00 pm.  iPad/iPhone users sees the invite as Tuesday through Wednesday which is essentially a day late.  I have the iPhone Set Automatically on Settings - General - Date & Time.  I also have the iPhone set to Time Zone Support (loca) in Settings - Mail, Calendar and Contact = Scroll down to Calendar and selected local time zone.  Anything else I am missing?

    On your iPhone, go to settings and then mail,contacts,calendar,etc. Change your default calendar to Entourage.

  • Issues with calendar invites from Outlook address that come to my gmail on iPhone

    I have been trying for HOURS to get to the bottom of this iPhone calendar invite problem I'm having. I'll try to summarize.
    I LOVE iCal and I want to continue using it. Though I have a personal mid-2010 Macbook Pro, I don't use it too much (my company functions solely on Windows). I almost exclusively use my iPhone 4S for calendar purposes. Yes, my calendar is synced up to iCloud. I have a gmail account as my primary apple ID and my mail account on the iPhone is synced with gmail. I've been very annoyed lately as I have been receiving a lot of calendar invites from a friend who has Outlook, and I cannot accept or decline when I received her invite. The events are added to my calendar, grayed out.
    After much research, I realized that I had to setup my gmail account as an Exchange account on my iPhone, which I did. I then sent myself a test invite from Lotus Notes, and low and behold, I can now accept and decline!
    ..but I am VERY particular about my calendar organization, and I want to be able to choose which calendar the event is added to; however, it is added to my exchange (gmail) calendar, I guess because it was received on the gmail server. I want my calendar invites to be received on my ios device calendar! I don't know if having people use my .me account would help, but I don't want to tell everyone to change the email address to which they send me notifications, because I want to continue to receive mail at my gmail account (like the many calendars, I have many folders there and have everything set up the way I want it).
    I get emails concerning work, events, tennis matches, etc via my gmail account, and I want to sort them to the correct calendar when the invite comes to my gmail while STILL maintaining the functionality to accept and decline invites.
    Is this a crazy question?

    I posted this question a while ago and didn't receive any responses but there are a lot of people who have viewed it and 10 have said they have the same question so I thought I would update you that I added my nanny to my exchange server account (created an email for her) and I send all invites to that email address and they work.  So sending invites from an exchange server account to a non-exchange server account apparently is a bug so to solve it, get on an exchange server I guess.

  • Time zone issue when copying Outlook/Mac invitation to iCal or adding it via iPhone/iPad calendar

    Hello everyone,
    I'm facing a situation when every time I receive an invitation comes from a different time zone neither iCal, iPhone’s Calendar nor iPad’s Calendar recognizes it correclty.
    Below there are a couple of examples, but before, a few information about my environment: Mac OS X Lion with Outlook for Mac (non-exchange user), I’m using iCloud, and my iPhone and iPad are running iOS5. And BTW, I’m not intending to sync anything with Outlook… I know it does not support iCloud syncing, I just trying to live without that.
    First example.
    I got an invitation to a meeting on Monday 5pm-6pm CET, but I’m in GMT-2. It should appear to me as an event to occur on Monday2pm-3pm (GMT-2). In fact only Outlook shows the right time, however when I dragged and dropped that appointment from Outlook’s calendar to iCal it was copied but is did not consider the time zone, that means in the iCal, the appointment was set to occur from 5pm-6pm (GMT-2), instead of 2pm-3pm (GMT-2).
    Second example.
    I created an appointment in Outlook by myself, jsut to check if that would be something related to the senders’ computer (Outlook/Windows user), then I set that meeting to occur on Friday 5pm-6pm (UTC+1) and I sent an invitation to a friend of mine (Outlook/Mac User). In my Outlook the appointment was created correctly, that means, on Friday 2pm-3pm (GMT-2), however, when I copied that meeting to iCal it did not consider the time zone, appearing to be Friday 5pm-6pm (GMT-2), and when my friend opened the invitation in his iPhone, which is also set as GMT-2, that also appeared to him as a meeting on Friday 5pm-6pm (GMT-2).
    I also checked all possible time zones configurations, in the iPhone, iPad, iCloud and in my MacBook (iCal and Outlook)…all time zones are enabled and configured as GMT-2.
    As an last shoot, I decided to download a third-party software, which is integrated with iCal and iCloud, in order to check if that could be an Apple’s issue. I downloaded and installed the BusyCal (from BusyMac). And guess what?! When I dragged & dropped the same meetings I described above from Outlook to BusyCal, it worked perfectly!! And BusyCal sent the proper information to iCal and my iPhone/iPad over iCloud. Which means: #1 there would be no issue with my configurations, and #2 BusyCal does really takes into consideration time zones, which is something that Apple’s calendars looks like do not.
    It will not solve the issue I'm having with my mobile devices, but at least is a workaround… BTW, an expensive workaround, because BusyCal costs $49, by now I’m using the 30 days trial version.
    So friends, is there anyone who could help to find a real solution J , or at least, a free workaround L
    Thank you in advance and I apologize for this “article”.
    PS: I've been using Mac for 4 years now, and this is the first time I was stucked ina situation like that... and I don't know who to blame... Microsoft or Apple? This I know... syncing Apple's calendars with Microsoft's calendars, should be effortless... and it is always a pain in... that place...

    I am having a similar problem:  invitations sent (presumably from outlook), when accepted from my iPad, appear in the calendar with the wrong time zone.
    this actually happens even when the meeting is in the same time zone I'm in:  I am in GMT -5, and even when the meeting is in GMT-5, it defaults to GMT (or, in some instances, PST).  My settings have my time zone set correctly.
    Any help much appreciated.
    PS:  Using iPad original wit iOS5

  • HT2480 Is there a way to clear the calendar invitations from the iPhone invite inbox when the Meeting is accepted by a delegate?

    I am running an Exchange / Outlook 2010 environment with many mobile users accessing email and calendars with iPhones.  Senior Executives have delegated their Calendars to Executive Assistants, who manage them mostly from Outlook.  When Meeting requests arrive for the executives, their assistants Accept, Decline or mark as Tentative as the calendar allows.
    The executives have only their mail account on their iPhone.  The assistants have both their account and the executive's Exchange ActiveSync account on their phones.  When the request is handled and a Send Response Now is submitted, the calendar invitation does not get cleared from the Senior Executive's Calendar invitation inbox, or the Calendar invitation inbox on their assistant's phone (which is to say, the Senior Executive's Calendar, which is a secondary calendar at this point) but it does show up properly on their Calendar.  It seems the cache doesn't know that the request has been handled and does not clear the flag.
    Other than turning off the Calendar, deleting the ActiveSync data and downloading fresh data, is there a way to correct this?  I have tried multiple switches and settings, notifications, etc.  I have even dabbled in Outlook's Rules, since this is where the delegation occurs.  Once a Meeting is accepted, how can it be cleared in the inbox?  This is not a badge, as I've turned off badges.
    It affects not only the iPhone 4 and 5, but also iPads and iPad Minis running iOS 6.0.1 or better.

    I have similar issue.  Sharing calendars in the house hold and when I did it lit up my calendars inbox with 21 messages and no way to clear them. Hope this is fixed in the next iOS release.

  • How do i automatically import ics calendar invitations from email into apple calendar?

    how do i automatically import ics calendar invitations (sent from Windows computer - Outlook) from email into apple calendar?

    From Calendar Help. The only two ways listed are using the Import command or a drag and drop.
    Import events into a calendar
    If you want, create a new calendar for the events.Add or delete a calendar
    Choose File > Import > Import.
    Locate and select the calendar file that contains the events, and then click Import.
    Choose the calendar you created or another calendar to add the events to.
    You can also drag a .ics file to Calendar. The events in the file are added to the calendar that’s highlighted in the Calendar list.
    You might be able to set up and Automator action to do it for you.

  • Outlook Calendar invites show up 16 hours behind when accepted on my iphone

    I am using Ms Outlook 2003 (work email) to send calendar invites to my Gmail (personal email which I receive on my iPhone4), and attempting to accept these calendar invites on my iPhone (via the .ics attachment) so that they appear on iCal. I am however, unable to get the event to appear as the correct time. It always shows up as 16 hours behind the scheduled time, but with the correct time showing up in the "Notes" Section.
    My Outlook and computer settings are set to my local time zone. Similarly, my iPhone settings and the calendar settings are set to my local time zone.
    Would appreciate if anyone could help. Thanks!

  • Once I accept a calendar invite on my iPhone, I cannot delete or otherwise modify it.  Even when it is updated or deleted by the invitor, it does not change on my iPhone.  Is there a fix for this?

    Once I accept a calendar invite on my iPhone, I cannot delete or otherwise modify it.  Even when it is updated or deleted by the invitor, it does not change on my iPhone.

    My husband and I both have iphone 4's and we both have this same problem.  I have an open ticket with apple, but so far they haven't been able to figure this out.  First, they told me the problem was the mail server I was using.  So, I tried sending/receiving invites from gmail and yahoo which they told me should work.  Neither did.  It doesn't matter whether the original invite was created in iCal or in Outlook or Google, once I open the invite in my mail and hit "add to calendar" the event is locked into my calendar.  If the originator sends an update or cancels the meeting, I will receive an email with the new info, but the event doesn't change in my iphone calendar.  This is completely lame.  Why bother putting a calendar app on the phone if it can't handle basic functions?
    Did you ever get a response from anyone or figure out a workaround?  I'll post if I hear back from Apple with a fix.

  • Calendar invitations accepted on iPhone 6 not showing in iCloud calendar

    Hi
    When I accept mime-attachment.ics calendar invitations on my iPhone 6, the appointment in created in my iPhone calendar, but for some reason doesn't show up in the iCloud calendar (accessed through iCloud.com).  I have the latest version iOS8.1.1 on my iPhone 6.  This problem has started in the last 3 weeks.  I have a similar problem on my iPad.  The result is that I can't sync the appointments created by accepting mime-attachment.ics invitations across devices.

    I'm experiencing the same issue, but I found a workaround until it is fixed. After accepting the invite via an ICS attachment, I change the calendar from Work to Home, then back to Work, and then the appointment appears in iCloud, on my Mac, etc.
    Hope that helps for now.

  • Accepting calendar invites with 2 exchange accounts on iPhone?

    My setup:
    iphone 4S - 5.1.1
    2 Exchange server accounts (1 home, 1 work).
    When I get sent a calendar invite from Work, I accept it on my iPhone and it goes back to sender with my personal email address.  How do I prevent this? It didn't use to do this, it would accept the calendar invite and return with the work email.
    Help??

    When you accept the appointment, is it in your business calender or in the private one?
    When it goes back, is it your e-mail-adress or the signature that is wrong (you know, only one signature for both accounts unless you update to iOS6, which can handle separate sigs for each acccount).
    I recommend setting your business calender as default (Settings>Mail, contacts...>Calender>"Default"

  • IPhone 3G sending calendar invites possible?

    Just got iPhone 3G - my first venture into Apple Land and no doubt not my last. I was waiting for this to come out to replace my blackberry for work. Everything is EXCELLENT so far and definitely superior to my BB. One MAJOR problem I (and other BB owners) are trying to figure out is how do you create a calendar invite then email it ("INVITE") others to your meeting/calendar entry where they can respond with an accept/decline/tentative. Any ideas? Is this even possible? It is such a key component to BB and would be so disappointing if this feature was missed. Thank you very much to anyone that can help me with this!!

    Apple does not comment on future products or features (or complaints).
    From the iPhone 3G manual:
    "If you have a Microsoft Exchange account set up on iPhone with Calendars enabled,
    you can receive and respond to meeting invitations from people in your organization.
    When you receive an invitation, the meeting appears in your calendar with a dotted
    line around it. The icon in the lower-right corner of the screen indicates the total
    number of new invitations you have, as does the Calendar icon on the Home screen."
    And:
    "Tap Accept, Maybe, or Decline."
    This means that answering invitations should work if you are connected to a Microsoft Exchange server.
    It does not work if you're using MobileMe, because MobileMe is only "Exchange for the rest of us". And it does not work if you only use iCal with no server support. In short, if you are using iCal, you're out of luck.
    Even if you use MS Exchange, you could only respond to invitations. You can't create them.
    There's more. If you view an event on your iPhone, you can see the names of the attendees. You cannot see if they accepted the invitation because there is no status symbol. You can't see if you accepted yourself.
    Have fun!

  • Iphone Calendar Invites sync with OWA but not Entourage

    I have a MacBook Air (OS X 10.5.7), iPhone 3g (running os 3.0) and Office 2008. I have Entourage set up and running for email and contacts but it only syncs one-way for calendar - from Entourage/Exchange to iPhone, but not the reverse.
    The iPhone syncs with changes made in Entourage/Exchange calendar.
    If I create a calendar event on my iPhone, it will show up in OWA, but not in the Entourage calendar. If I accept a calendar invite on the iPhone, it shows up in OWA, but not in Entourage.
    If I create an appointment or calendar event in Entourage, it shows up in OWA and the iPhone.
    If I create an invite for an event on the iPhone, other participants receive the invite.
    The only thing that doesn't work is creating or accepting a calendar event on the iPhone or OWA and seeing it in Entourage. Help! Very frustrated.

    On your iPhone, go to settings and then mail,contacts,calendar,etc. Change your default calendar to Entourage.

  • Don't send responses to Calendar invites on iPhone

    Quick question. I tried a search and didn't find anything.
    On my old phone (Treo 750) I had the ability to accept, decline or tentatively accept invitations - but the big thing I loved was that I didn't need to send a response to the original sender. I was given the option to edit response, send response, or decline to send response.
    Does anyone know if its possible to take action on a calendar invite, but not to send the response to the meeting owner?

    1) I don't see a way to not send a reply when accepting/declining a calendar invite on the iPhone. Definitely an omission.
    2) I also get calendar invites for entries I set up myself, as if I need to respond to them. Doesn't make sense, can't figure it out.
    UPDATE - when I reply to someone else's invite on my PC, it pushes another invite to my calendar inbox. Why do I need to reply on the iPhone when I already have on my PC???
