Meeting requests not making it from Mail to iCal

I haven't been able to have meeting requests automatically transfer over to iCal.
I have my Mail settings set to automatically send meeting invites to iCal, and most invitations come from people that are present in my address book.
I've been on hold with Apple Care for over an hour, and haven't had any luck other than being asked to check the settings above.
Any help you can provide would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Drag appointment from Mail into iCal - won't automatically go into iCloud

When I drag an appointment from Mail into iCal, it saves the event on the calendar "Home - On my Mac" even though I have told iCal to default as "Home (iCloud)" Is there any way I can get Mail to drop into iCal on my default iCloud account so iCloud (and thus iPhone etc) updates automatically?!
Thanks!

Meeting requests from Mail to iCal - 10.4.6

Updating to 10.4.6 seems to have broken my ability to import into iCal meeting requests sent from Outlook to an Exchange account in Mail. In 10.4.5 I was able to command-[ and get the meeting.ics attachment which, when doubleclicked, would load the event into iCal.
Now, when I do the same thing, I get the .ics file as the attachment but the .ics is not recognized by iCal:
This calendar file is unreadable. No events have been added to you iCal calendar.
Opening it with BBEdit shows that .ics is not a vCard.
Does anyone have any clue of what is going on?

baltwo,
That was a typo. In (2) I meant to say "Upgrade Mac OS X" rather than "Install Mac OS X" precisely for the reasons you stated for the "upgrade earlier version" install option. The "Erase and Install" option and "Archive and Install" option are just not necessary in my case. Thanks.
Yes, thanks too for the reminder to check out the Panther-cloned FWHD volume before the update.

Lotus Notes (Domino) Meeting Invitations from Mail to iCal

I use an iMac at work and a MacBook Pro at home. They recently switched to a Notes-based calendar program at work, and since I don't have the Notes client installed on either machine (someone from our IT department has spent about four hours trying to install it on the iMac with no success) and the web application only works with IE 6, and there is no provision for synching the calendar with my PDA, when I heard that the e-mail meeting invitations could be imported into iCal, I was all over that.
When I opened iCal on the iMac I found that there was a "Work" calendar, and iCal's "Automatically retrieve invitations from Mail" box was checked, there were no entries in the Work calendar--or any other calendar.
When I initially looked into it, I found several threads (e.g. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5186410) in the iCal forum about time zones not being imported correctly (I wish my problems were that minor!) from Lotus Notes meeting invitations. But these threads showed vCal messages and mentioned error dialogs. I hadn't seen any dialogs, and my meting invitations are just plain text messages like this:
======================
Meeting Invitation: Norman Conquest has invited you to a meeting
Meeting Details
Subject: Let's Kill an Hour, Shall We?
Begins: 11/26/07 9:00:00 AM
Ends: 11/26/07 10:00:00 AM
Location: The Bored Room
Chair: Norman Conquest
Required Invitees: Upton O'Good, Natalie Attired, Hugh Mility, Justin Case
Optional Invitees:
To view all the details of the meeting and act on it if necessary, please
click the link below to view your calendar
======================
So I just assumed I was foiled again because the messages were not in the right format.
Later I happened to open my MacBook Pro, and, much to my surprise, I found that a small number of meetings had actually found their way into iCal, and in at least one case I know of, one has actually been rescheduled! I could hardly contain myself.
At first I thought the small number of meetings was simply due to the fact that I receive most of my work e-mail at work, on the iMac, so only those meeting invitations that I happened to open for the first time on my MacBook Pro had been imported. However, this turned out not to be the case, as I have observed many cases in which I have received new, unread meeting invitations on my MacBook Pro which have not been entered in iCal.
But what's really got me is that this whole process is so inaccessible! You'd think there would be preferences where you could tell Mail what kind of invitations to look for and tell iCal which calendar to put them in. But no. There's just one checkbox to turn the process on or off. You just check it and cross your fingers.
Just to deepen the mystery a little bit, I do know of one other Mac user who says his invitations are being reliably entered into iCal, and he can even reply to them. When I asked him for details he told me he just turned it on and it worked.
Is there anyone out there who can at least shed a little light on what I've observed, if not help me get this process working at least quasi-reliably? Is this process working for anybody else out there?

Outlook Meeting Request Notes Incomplete

I have ditched Outlook in VMware for Apple Mail and iCal.
Over the past couple of months I have been receiving some meeting requests that I have accepted into my calendar which do not include the complete notes from the meeting request. It has cause me to be late or re-request meeting details a few times now. We use webex for many meetings and most meeting hosts include meeting details and URLs to join the meetings in the note section.
Sometimes the complete details are included in the iCal entry and other times not. I have not figured out when this works versus' when it does not. It happened today when I believe I was forwarded an existing meeting from another's calendar, but so far I have not figured out a pattern.
When I accept the meeting the original note is moved to the Trash in Mail. When I look at the deleted email that contains the missing meeting details. This has happened on my Mac Pro and Mac Book Pro.
Does anyone else experience this or have a fix?

Trouble with Meeting Requests not coming through - GMail to Exchange

I've just started trying to get a handle on all the thing my wife schedules for me around the kids. I've tried to get her to send me meeting requests so they go on my calendar but a lot of the time they're just not coming through. I get all of her emails and I get meeting requests all day long but there seems to be a problem getting the meeting requets from her.
She has an iPhone 4S and I have an iPhone 5 both running IOS 6.
She has gmail set up as Exchange in Mail on the iPhone.
I have a true MS Exchange account set up on the iPhone
She will create an event and add my work email as the invitee. It will show up on her phone but never come through sometimes.
Sometimes I've noticed that on her phone my name has a question mark next to it in the invite.
Any ideas? Any direction?
Thanks
Josh

Any ideas on this? Still having the problem.
Thanks

Can't open meeting requests sent to iPhone from MS Outlook

Mobile Me pushes email from my PC-based MS Outlook 2007 to my iPhone. Emails arrive with no problem, including all attachments...apart from Outlook Calendar meeting requests.
These arrive as an email with an attachment that reads "mime-attachment.ics". I can't do anything with this attachment, i.e. read date, time, place of appointment, or respond to it (accept, reject), or insert it into the calendar on the iPhone.
The only way to access the meeting request is to read it on my PC, respond to it and transfer it to iPhone via a normal synch using the USB.
Any help gratefully received.

I know exactly what problem you're having. It's not a syncing issue. This is a recognized and reported issue. Any Microsoft Outlook Calendar invitation comes into your IPhone as an email with the .ics file attached to update your calender. The IPhone operating system does not recognize nor have any instructions as to what to do with a .ics file. When I discovered this a couple months ago, I researched and found out it has been reported to Apple. Some have speculated that the issue might be addressed in Release 3.0 but I haven't heard.
This is a significant issue for those of us who use the IPhone for business. From a novice's standpoint, it doesn't seem like it would be difficult to put in a few lines of code to recognize and then write the entry to the calendar. But then seems like Apple doesn't seem like it's a priority.
Hope Apple is monitoring this forum. This is my first post.

Meeting request not showing up in outlook

Outlook 2010 - meeting request received, is not showing up in Outlook inbox. The new mail icon blinks briefly and the meeting dissapears, it does appear as tentative in the calendar, however does not give an option to accept/decline.
OWA works fine, and the meeting request also shows up fine in BB.
No rules in outlook that affects this either.
Does anyone have any ideas on this?
Update:
tried outlook /cleanreminders - didn't help.
Other reminders works, like the meeting & task reminders, just the initial meeting acceptance pop up is missing.
The meeting can be accepted / declined by going into the calendar where the meeting shows up as tentative (as expected).
This behaviour is on multiple machines (home/work) both exhibiting the same behaviour.
Thanks
Shah

   Hi
       Is this user responsible for the resource?
      Check Tools/Options/Preferences/Calendar Options/Resource Scheduling to see if it is set to automatically accept.
      Can you find metting request in delete item folder?
      Can you delete user account on blackberry and run office again?

Meeting request in SharePoint calendar from Outlook 2010

Hi,
I've connected a SharePoint calendar to my Outlook 2010 client and wish to manage this calendar from within Outlook 2010 itself. When I try to request a new meeting in this calendar from Outlook, I am able to do everything as normal, but when the meeting
request is synchronised, it comes up with the following error:
I can see the item in the Local Failures folder but it does get sync'd soon after and appears in the SharePoint calendar list on the SharePoint site itself. However, when viewing the item in Outlook, it is an appointment, not a meeting.
I've seen this article - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926440. Does this mean you can't create meeting requests in SharePoint calendars?
Can anyone shed some light on what is possible and what isn't? I don't want to have to create a meeting workspace for every meeting required.
Many thanks

OK, thanks for clearing that up.

Mail hyperlinks open in safari, but screen is not automatically moving from mail to safari, only manually

Hello,
i'm facing already for some time an issue that i can get solved unfortunately.
After OS update towards mountian lion (i believe, but not sure), a hyperlink in an email is opened in Safari, but my screen is not automatically swapping towards safari from mail. Not if i'm working on the desktop, nor working in full screen mode. I need to move manually to the other screen, to see the webpage opening.
In the past it was working, but I can't find the settings to get this solved. Today I've update to Yosemite, and it didn't solve this for me.
Who can help me? It is really appreciated
thanks

Notes folder disappeared from mail icloud in browser

It just disappeared from icloud in browser but it shows in my devise.
"Sync notes" is swich on.
It always works till tooday. I did nothing to get this
I need to appeare the notes folder in my mail icloud (browser) just like it was

I've had reserev coppy of my important Notes - just in case
I think its some Apples problem. Probably they start testing of theirs new icloud-beta, where notes and reminders will be on the main panel (like mail, contacts, calendar).

Not automatically importing from Mail

Ever since I got on Leopard, my ical has not automatically imported the invites from mail regardless of the setting I have it on. It was "supposed to be fixed in 10.5.1 and then .2, but never happened. Anyone else having this trouble?

I am having this problem too, running 10.5.2. I also have the problem that when I go to download appointments from the Apple Store concierge system, Firefox will not download it as a .ics file, but turns it into some whacked mpeg that is not a movie and cannot be opened.

Not opening links from mail - firefox turns grey at bottom

firefox usually opens links from "mail" in a new tab. Sometimes
firefox greys out and will not allow links to open. Clearing history
or restarting firefox solves the problem somettimes. Multiple restarts
may be required.

I suggest you to file a bug report regarding this issue: https://bugreport.apple.com/
I can confirm that Safari has serious issues with opening links from other applications. For example Content Guide links in Quicktime Player opens empty windows.

IOS7 and outlook meeting requests not showing up

I am using Outlook 2007 on a PC (Windows 7). Just updated my iPhone 5 to the new iOS 7 Operating System. All seemed well until I sent a meeting request through my outlook on the desktop to a fellow iPhone user. The email with the mime-attachment.ics came through to her email just fine. However, you can't open it and it's not showing up in the calendar inbox or calendar. I tried sending one to myself, same results.
It worked just fine before the update. Any suggestions? I currently do not use an online calendar or iCloud...just the outlook program on my desktop. iCloud presented a problem between my husband's exchange server and invites that I sent him so I kept it turned off.
Thank you,
LC

I really wish your solution worked for me. Unfortunately, even turning on the S/Mime switch, I'm still not able to view the calendar appointment. Nothing has changed for me, but I'm glad it's working for you.
BozyGoBlue, your solution worked for me. However, it's crazy to have to jump through the extra hoop to get an appointment on my calendar. I did try forwarding the email appointment message to myself, and that worked too. Since your solution worked for both of us, I'd be interested in knowing if I am gbot's solution worked for you.
Still looking for a fix. If anyone comes across anything, I'd appreciate you coming back here and posting. I'll do the same.

Gmail will not send emails from mail

On my Gmail account I am unable to send emails from mail on my iMac. I have OS X 10.9.1
I have tried several times turning on and off 2 - step verification.
I have also entered the generated password in the SMTP server as well.
Message says: SMTP-server.gmail.... Could not connect
When I edit SMTP server list how do I fill that in.
ie Description, server name TLS Certificate.

Does this mail ID supports either POP or IMAP protcol? Report this issue to your carrier they will raise a ticket to RIM for resolving the issue.
