Locally edit an event received from a subscription

I publish an iCal feed (so I have complete control over the feed properties) and while iCal imports it just fine, I am not allowed to locally edit the event details. It appears to be a read-only affair.
I am not referring to having local edits be pushed back to remote, I understand that requires a full two-way protocol such as Cal/WebDAV, I just want the user to be able to edit an event that is already in their iCal.
Does this capability just not exist in iCal - all non-CalDAV subscriptions purely read-only or is there some kind of a flag/setting that I need to enable in my feed properties?
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
A subscription is read-only - and you can't even copy data from events to another calendar.

Receiving a calendar event message from a third party on a BB Z10

I have a BB Z10 on the UK Vodafone network. My Z10 is set to GMT time and correctly shows that I am in the "Dublin, London" time zone. This is the GMT time zone description that all BB devices that I have ever owned have shown.
This afternoon (UK time) i received a calendar event notification from a client who I have since established was at his desk in London when he sent the message advising me of a conference call to take place next week.
The advice on the Z10 has five clear sections: "Status", "Date", a bell symbol to indicate when the reminder will sound, and a fifth symbol indicating the number on which to call in, and the PIN code.
However, and this is my serious problem, there is a third section on the advice which has a globe symbol and appears to exist to indicate where the person setting up the event was located when he/she sent the message. In the specific case of which I write, the message states "This event is displayed in local time, but was created in Reykjavik (GMT) [sic}". The actual message shows the time for the event as one hour later than the actual time that the event is scheduled to take place - in other words GMT + 2 hours - namely the time in continental Europe and Reykjavik.
I have serious issues with this:
1) Is it the real intention to indicate where the sender of the message was located when the message was sent?
2) if yes, this is a serious breach of privacy
3) if yes, the location is wrong, as the person who sent me the message has confirmed that he was at his desk in London
4) if no what is the purpose in indicating where "the message was created" (BB's words - not mine)
5) the indicated time of the event is wrong - it has assumed a different time zone than that in which I and the sender are located.
Has anyone else encountered this problem and what has BB got to say about it???
Thanks

I received the e-mail notification on Microsift Outlook from a third party (i.e. not someone within my own organisation).
The same invite on both my lap-top computer and my BB 9900 Bold did not have any mention about the sender being in Iceland (or anywhere else!) and showed the correct time and time-zone for the agreed meeting - namely, 8,30am on Friday the 19th April.
I confirm that my Z10 is set to the "Dublin, London (+0)" time zone and is currently showing the correct British Summer Time of 16.31. The device switched automatically to British Summer Time on Sunday 31st March.
I would welcome your comments.
In every other respect (apart from the infamous Outlook USB synching issue about which I am sure you have heard more than enough!!), the Z10 is an outstanding device and deserves to be the device which at long last wipes the smile off the faces of those equine rumps in Cupertino, California!!
I am expecting the roll-out of the Q10 in the UK in a couple of weeks - please??!!
Thanks again for your help and assistance

How can I unsubscribe from an event or edit an event that I am subscribed to in iCal?

I just added an event from the website last.fm and iCal went through this list of new tasks before it could be added, and now I am subscribed to this event. However, I wasn't looking to create a new "calendar," which is what seems to have happened, and I would like to edit the event to add it to an existing "calendar," but iCal says I cannot edit nor remove events that I am subscribe to. Does anyone know a trick or loophole to undo the subscription??

Tell me your solution
I tried several things, but no possibility to unsubscribe
Thanks

Why can't I edit an event sent thru Exchange meeting invites from others?

Is there any way to edit an Event in iOS 6 when it is sent from others as an Invitation? I don't see the Edit button in the upper right of the screen for invitations sent by others on our Exchange network (Exchange 2003 & 2010 mixed environment).
I do see the Edit button on meeting requests that I initiated from Outlook on my PC so I wonder why it isn't available on others invitations to me?
I want to Edit those at times. For example, they may not include the address in the location field so I want to go in and edit the Event so I can put that information in to use later (look up directions in the Map App.
I'm new to iOS all together (my first iOS device is this iPhone 5) so not sure if this was available prior to iOS 6 or has always been an iOS calendar issue.
BTW I've upgraded to 6.0.1.
Thanks

I think you can set up a new mail account of the type IMAP.
And turn off the Mail option in iCloud.
Follow therse instructions below to set up your own IMAP account manually:

Just make sure you leave your email address as [email protected], and only use [email protected] as the username

Calendar subscription events missing from iPhone

I have several macs' calendars being updated to/from icloud and they are all receiving the calendar updates from a subscription link, but the phone is missing some. I saw someone from a year-old post say go to icloud prefs on phone, turn off calendar keeping data on phone, turn it back on merging data. I did that, and it took fifteen minutes for the item in question to appear. It was an event that had been on that subscribed calendar for several weeks, at least.
I'm wondering what the real solution to the issue is ...for people that actually have to rely on their calendar. Is there a more reliable way to push updates?
(iphone 5; a few macs running mavericks)

I have no reason as to why they leave this out, but I totally want the feature too. It's annoying when you forget to make the change and have to re-enter all the info via iphone to correct it. APPLE, PLEASE FIX THIS!!!

Call Custom Service from Event Receiver as Current User

Hello,
i bang my head on this problem for days now:
My custom web service hosted in Sharepoint 2013 needs to know the logged on user name. I used to have a self-written impersonation in my service client before, but with switching to claims authentication this should be obsolete.
So within my service i decode the user from
IClaimsPrincipal icp = Thread.CurrentPrincipal as IClaimsPrincipal;
IClaimsIdentity ci = (IClaimsIdentity)icp.Identity;
String User = ci.ToString();
This works well when i call the service from a custom aspx page.
It utterly fails when i call the service from a List Item Event Receiver. The User always is the Application Pool Account.
This is the Client code to open the Channel:
private void SetChannelFactory(
MyServiceApplicationProxy proxy,
Uri address)
if (null == proxy)
throw new ArgumentNullException("proxy");
if (null == address)
throw new ArgumentNullException("address");
// Check for a cached channel factory
string endpointConfigurationName = GetEndpointConfigurationName(address);// Get the endpoint configuration name
if ((null == s_ChannelFactory) || (endpointConfigurationName != m_EndpointConfigurationName))
lock (s_ChannelFactoryLock)
if ((null == s_ChannelFactory) || (endpointConfigurationName != m_EndpointConfigurationName))
// Create a channel factory without specifying an endpoint address
// so it can be cached and used for multiple endpoint addresses
s_ChannelFactory = new ConfigurationChannelFactory<IMyServiceContract>(
endpointConfigurationName, proxy.Configuration, null);
// Configure the channel factory for claims-based authentication
s_ChannelFactory.ConfigureCredentials(SPServiceAuthenticationMode.Claims);
foreach (var operation in s_ChannelFactory.Endpoint.Contract.Operations)
DataContractSerializerOperationBehavior behavior = operation.Behaviors.Find<DataContractSerializerOperationBehavior>() as DataContractSerializerOperationBehavior;
if (behavior != null)
behavior.MaxItemsInObjectGraph = 2147483647;
// Store the current endpoint configuration name.
m_EndpointConfigurationName = endpointConfigurationName;
private IMyServiceContract GetChannel(
MyServiceApplicationProxy proxy,
Uri address)
//Create Channelfactory
SetChannelFactory(proxy, address);
// Create a channel from the channel factory.
return s_ChannelFactory.CreateChannelActingAsLoggedOnUser(new EndpointAddress(address));
All research pointed out that "CreateChannelActingAsLoggedOnUser" would pass the current user (which is correctly identified within the event receiver!) to the service, but it doesn't work for my event receiver...
Any advice on this would be great!
With kind regards,
Joachim

You should be able to get the current user id from the SPListItemEventProperties object. From here you should be able to create a Claim. For example get the user by using
user = SPWeb.Users.GetByID(properties.CurrentUserId)
SPClaim claim = SPClaimProviderManager.CreateUserClaim(user.email, SPOriginalIssuerType.TrustedProvider, issuerIdentifier);

In Final Cut Pro I was trying to move an Event Library from one hard drive to another as explained in the Help section. After doing so, I received a message that my event is already open with the same identifier as the new one I just creat

In Final Cut Pro I was trying to move an Event Library from one hard drive to another as explained in the Help section. After doing so, I received a message that my event is already open with the same identifier as the new one I just created on the new disk. It says the second document cannot be opened and to move one of these documents out of your Final Cut Events folder. It also says to avoid this problem, copy events from within Final Cut Pro, but that is what I did in the first place. What should I do to avoid the double opening conflict?

What exactly are you doing and what version are you using with OS X 10.8?

Event Receiver to get folder Names from List View Web Part

Hi,
We have a requirement i.e.
On one of the page,there are some folders on the list view web part.
Now through event receiver i should pick the folder names from list view web part and
update the same in the list.
If that names already exists in the list then we should leave without updating,if not we have to add folder name in the list.
Please share your ideas regarding the same.
Regards,
Naga Sudheer M
Thanks & Regards, Sudheer

Hello,
LVWP is just for displaying content of site so you need to associate your event receiver with actual list/library. You can create ItemAdded event receiver to check existing folder and create new if not existing. "sk2014" links are good to start.

CAM Event Log: SNMP trap is received from switch [ ip address ] which is NOT in our database.

We keep getting thousands of entries in the CAM event log like this:
SNMP trap is received from switch [<ip address>] which is NOT in our database.
apparently, these aren't NAC'd switches. Why does the CAM see these and how can they be eliminated from the Event Log?
Thanks,

Matt,
Do you switches have the CAM as a host where they are sending traps? Check the running-config of the servers and see if you spot the CAM IP address as one of the snmp-servers.
HTH,
Faisal

Can't edit events received by e-mail

I just realized that I can no longer edit an event which I received by e-mail. I get the message "Invitation error, only the organizer can change this event". Until a few days ago changing events received by e-mail was always possible. My wife has the same problem with iCal on her machine. Does anyone experience the same problem or have a suggestion how to solve that?

I have THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. Just started a few days ago....it's ******* me off....none of my other friends are having this problem. I have an iPhone 4 also...here's a picture for anyone who wants to contribute a resolution...

Cannot access Dynamics XRM from within Event Receiver

Hello everyone
I'm struggling with an issue here and I would like to hear some advice from you. The problem is the following:
I need to do something on Dynamics CRM whenever a document is uploaded to a specific location in SharePoint. I'm using an Event receiver for this purpose and connecting to CRM via the IOrganizationService, like this:
IOrganizationService service = new OrganizationServiceProxy(serviceUri, null, credentials, null); //service uri is https//serviceUri is something like "https://crmserver/organization/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc"
But for some reason I'm unable to execute that line successfully (looks like it times out) from within the Event receiver. However, the same exact piece of code works perfectly fine if executed from a separate console application (i.e., outside the IIS application
pool) running on the same SharePoint server...I'm confused, do I need to configure anything else on the SharePoint application pool so it let's me access the XRM service?
More info:
- It's not credentials issue, even provinding hardcoded it doesn't work
- Both SharePoint 2013 and Dynamics CRM 2013 are on premises.
- Integration between SharePoint and Dynamics CRM is done through the CRM List Component, over https, and it's working fine.This is not really important for this but it's just to tell that both servers can comunicate over https.
I would really like to get some advice on this. Thank you in advance.
Regards

Hi,
Per my understanding, there is an issue when trying to access Dynamic CRM in an Event Receiver.
As you said, the same code works in a Console Application, it means the code should be OK. To narrow down the issue, I suggest you do as follows:
1. Please debug this Event Receiver in Visual Studio to see if the Event Receiver is working, what’s more, it will give you more information about how the code works
or if there is any exception thrown during debugging;
2. Is it a Sandboxed solution? Sometimes
the limitation of a Sandboxed solution would interrupt the code execution, you can try to change it to “Farm” solution and make another test;
3. If the above steps not work for you, please trace the requests using Fiddler when the Event Receiver running, more details there would help you easier to find out
the root cause of this issue.
Thanks

Not receiving email notifications of iCal event invitations from other parties.

I am not receiving emails for iCal event invitations from other parties, but the invitations ARE in my iCal Inbox. I don't use iCal often, so I never proactively go in to check my Inbox there, but rather have always depended on receiving the email notification of an event invite to know to add it to my iCal. I can SEND invitations to others successfully with other parties receiving MY email notifications, I'm just not receiving them via email.
I've now missed two very important meetings because I never received the email invitations to add an event, which were the only forms of correspondence for both. Can anyone help me? Thank you!
