Missing TO-DO and iCal invites

Hi,
Two missing features in iPhone 3.0 are the ability to create/edit TO-DO's in Mail, and to accept invitations sent from iCal.
Any ETA when those pieces will be missing? I do not wish to have a separate to-do list through a 3rd-party app, or have to kludge something for calendar invites.
Thanks,
--Jamey

No ETA - Apple does not generally pre-announce features, and we cannot speculate here.

Astaro security gateway and ical invitations

When I want to reply to an ical invitation from an iCal server behind an Astaro Security Gateway, it's blocked by the Astaro. error 550: address unknown. I can understand that the astaro doesn't like addresses like [email protected]
Has anyone experience with Astaro gateways? Before I take it up with Astaro I want to know what other options I have. I don't know if it's possible to do some regex on the address, or filter by some unique header.
I do not manage the box. I'm just looking for information to provide to the people who do the support.
Help much appreciated.

Hi
QM = Quick Mode = Phase 2.
Phase 1 is either Main Mode or aggresive mode.
So by the fact it is getting to QM that suggests phase 1 is working. What you do see if you do a "sh crypto isa sa" on the ASA ?
Can you check the phase 2 settings to ensure they match ie.
1) check your crypto map access-list and make sure that the local and remote subnet you have on your ASA matches the Astaro local and remote subnets
2) Explicitly set PFS in phase 2 and get them to do the same on the Astaro firewall.

I have accepted iCal invitations with repeating events and they have since been deleted from the iCal on my Mac but won't delete from my iPhone. Help

I have accepted iCal invitations with repeating events and they have since been deleted from the iCal on my Mac but won't delete from my iPhone. Help

I experienced this issue as well.
Background:
I had opened an ICS attachment for a repeating event on my iPhone, which added the item to my phone's calendar. I did not have the option to delete the calendar entry from my phone, and the item did not appear on the calendar on my Mac. My phone is currently running iOS 7 (but the problem began quite awhile ago; I don't recall which version of iOS was installed when it started).
Solution (summary):
Create a new calendar, move the items that you wish to delete to the new calendar, then delete the new calendar
Solution (detailed steps):
Create a new calendar
On your phone, open the calendar app
Tap the "Calendars" option at the bottom of the screen
Tap the "Edit" button in the top left corner
Scroll to the bottom of the list and tap the "Add Calendar..." option
Give your new calendar a good name, such as "Delete me"
Tap "Done" in the top right corner to save the new calendar
Tap "Done" in the top left corner to finish editing the list of calendars
Tap "Done" to exit the list of calendars
Assign all calendar entries that you wish to delete to the calendar you created in step 1
Tap a calendar entry that you wish to delete
Tap the "Edit" button in the top right corner
Scroll down until you see the Calendar field (on an iPhone or iPod it's usually just below the bottom of the screen), then tap the Calendar field to bring up the list of available calendars
Tap the name of the calendar that you created in step 1 (e.g. "Delete me"); the screen should return to the main calendar entry page
Tap "Done" in the top right corner of the screen. You may need to then tap the "< Day" button on the top left of the screen to return to the main calendar view
Repeat the instructions in step 2 for each of the calendar entries that you wish to delete
Delete the calendar that you created in step 2 (this will delete all calendar entries assigned to this calendar)
From the main screen in the calendar app, tap the "Calendars" option at the bottom of the screen
Tap the "Edit" button in the top left corner
Tap the entry for the calendar that you created in step 2 (e.g. "Delete me")
Scroll to the bottom of the scren and tap the "Delete Calendar" option. You should be prompted with a warning that explains that "All events associated with this calendar will also be deleted."
If you're sure that the only items on this calendar are items that you wish to delete, tap the "Delete Calendar" button
Tap "Done" in the top right corner to exit the Edit Calendars screen
Tap "Done" to exit the list of calendars. You should now be back at the main view of the calendars app
Rejoice, your pesky repeating calendar events have been deleted
At this point all of the items that you assigned to the deleted calendar should be gone
Repeat the steps above for any entries that you missed
Post another message to this thread if this did not resolve your problem

ICal invitations are sent with work email calendar and respond to personal

Ical is set up to receive my work calendar called [email protected] Work email is a google webmail account. Office workers send invited to me from google calendar. I can accept these and they DO show on my .mac Ical.
On Ical, i have a list of standard calendar topics (home, work, school, etc). I have the shared google calendar set up as a second calendar on the ICal application. No problem.
My VCard has all work information. No personal at all. Work email, etc.
My email mailboxes for both inbound and sent Are in rank order meaning "work" email is draqgged over ".mac personal" on both scenarios.
Problem is This: When I create invites for "work calendar" , a new event pops up, "work email" shows as the Calendar and everything looks good and it does go to the invitee.
1. Invitee receives the invitation and the invite states that it is from the ".mac PERSONAL" calendar
2. My name shows as the organizer however has my personal email as the default (Not my work email as listed in my VCard)
3. Most annoying of all, my "[email protected]" email address(If clicked on by the invitee) states my Wifes name on the email address bar.
I have checked everywhere as to why my wife is showing up as the "owner" or my personal .mac account. Not anywhere on my .me account, .mac account, VCard, etc.
Help?
I want to send my invites from my work email account using Ical with the responses showing, and responding to the same work email address. Simple right?

I have to admit... Im getting frustrated.
I deleted the shared google calendar. Starting over. I created a work calendar called "MSL" under the "calendars" drop down in ical.
Created a test event, sent it to a personal account, clicked the link to accept and the link sends me to Entourage? See Below... Says iCal... Link goes to Entourage.
MSL Packaging and Fulfillment' has invited you to the iCal event: New Event Test, scheduled for December 16, 2009 at 4:00 PM (Eastern Standard Time). To accept or decline this invitation, click the link below.
I want to:
1.Sync google calendar with my [email protected] webmail account and my ICAL.
2. Send invites from my ICAL when using my work address in imail, have them send from my work address, respond to my work address, and show up on google and ical calendars.

How to delete previous invitee from apple iCal invite list? When inviting "Joe" an old Email address shows up. This person is literally dead! (may he rest peacefull) and I can't find his Email address to delete anywhere. Not in my address book

When sending calendar invite to "invitee" an old address appears. This guy is literally dead (may he rest in peace) and has same first name as person I send to all the time. So "dead" guy always pops up. Can't find his address to delete anywhere -- not in previous recipients, not in my address book, does not "auto-populate" when I try to send an Email. Still shows up everytime I want to send iCal invite. Spooky. Help me delete this guy from my iCal invitee options so he can truly rest in peace. Thanks!

Unwanted iCal invitations

In the much missed Claris Organiser, you could drag things such as Address Book entries to any appointment, To Do item or whatever, via a Drag and Drop "paperclip" utility.
iCal has what appears to be a rudimentary version of this "paperclip" facility but it is a very poor copy.
Unless, of course, I am misunderstanding it totally.
I have an "All Day" memorandum entry each Saturday in which I enter the name of the volunteer who is going to help our charity that Saturday. I need to telephone them to confirm their availability a couple of days before and for this (surprise, surprise) I need to know their 'phone number.
So, remembering the much missed Claris Organiser, I dragged the relevant address book entry onto the "All day" entry so that the number to call is readily available together with any notes I might make on their page in Address Book..
So far so good, it attached the relevant Address Book entry - +but then sent an Invitation email to the startled recipient+, inviting them as follows:
The world's most handsome and educated man has invited you to the iCal event: Alison, scheduled for 6 March 2010. To accept or decline this invitation, click the link below.
Well, OK, that first bit may be wishful thinking, but it did show my name.
Firstly Alison says that there was no link below and secondly, I didn't want to send an invitation, merely to link the event to my Address Book so that I could easily find the number when I wished to speak with, in this case, Alison.
Why does it automatically send an invitation and how can I stop it?
Is this an iCal bug, an iCal "hidden feature" or am I just being an idiot and overlooking the obvious?
If I can't stop it, I may well start a campaign to bring back Claris the Dog Cow's most excellent Organiser!
Thanks in advance.

I don't seem to be getting iCal push notifications on my iOS devices and my Macs. I have current versions of Lion (10.7.3) and iCal (5.0.2) and am using iCloud (@me.com) and the people that are sending me invites are using a variety of email accounts for their own iCloud accounts. The point is that the invitations show up in the Calendar (outlined and background color of grey with the option to Accept or Decline) but they aren't pupulating in my "inbox" next to the "Calendar" button in the upper righthand corner. Nor are they indicated on my iOS devices. Both updated with the latest version of iOS 5.X.X. Anyone help?!

IPhone and iCal issues

Hello!
I can't seem to open up iCal invitations using .Mac mail on my iPhone. It comes in as a .ics but when I double click nothing happens.
On the other hand when I am in my Mac mail on my laptop, I can double click invitations and it will open iCal.
Am I missing something?

There's a whole "encyclopedia" in these forums about this problem. Suggest you search here for something like "iCal event duplication" and you should find a good bit of helpful information.
That said, I had similar problems with my iPhone 3G and then my iPhone 4, and it basically came down to MobileMe issues. My best advice would be to look first to see whether or not the calendar on your MBP agrees with the one on MobileMe - I'm betting you'll find issues there for which the phone is just a display medium. It will probably be necessary for you to reset your sync data and clean out either the iCal data or the data in MM Calendar.

Sending iCal invitations using iPhone?

Hello, how do I invite people to an event using iCal within my iPhone?
I don't see this function.
I do see that if I create an event using iCal on my Macbook, I will then see the invitees within the event in iCal on my iPhone.
But I see no way to add invitees to an event directly from iCal on my iPhone.
Am I missing something?
Thxs,

iCal uses your address book to pick which email address to send from.
To change this, go into your vcard in your AB and make whatever email address you want ical to send invitations from the top email address in your list.

ICal invites are not received by some people (I know why, but Apple won't fix it)

I switched to icloud a while back and have the maddening problem of SOME people not receiving invites, and have discovered what causes it (at least in my case):
If the user you are sending to has an itunes (or apple id) account with that email as the login (and that email is NOT an icloud email) they will never receive the iCal invite! Instead it gets routed to their (non setup) icloud account. If they start using icloud for their calendars with this same external email address as login, they will receive them there (directly on their calendar if it is setup). Apple refuses to forward it to their real email address, the one we are sending it to. I have reported it to Apple several times but they are not inclined to fix it, probably because they want to force external users to use icloud. This is mega frustrating. Many of my friends do not receive invites, forcing me to use Google calendar for events with those friends. I prefer the general interface and look of icloud/ical invites, but I need to be able to actually invite people!

ssuess wrote:
Not for me, but let me verify the following type scenario with you:
1. Your person to invite has a gmail address ([email protected])
2. That gmail address is their Apple ID/iTunes login name (this is the most important piece)
3. They may have some icloud service on (like note syncing) but do not use icloud calendaring or mail (or may have signed up for mail but never check it)
4. Your icloud/ical invite arrives properly in their gmail inbox (at [email protected])?
Is all the above true? For me, the above scenario results in no email being received at the address I sent it to (number 4), it gets routed/lost in icloud if that is their Apple ID login.
Like I said, I do not have the issue you have, all my invites are received regardless of the email provider and user ID's I just send to the correct address and that's it. Frankly if what you said was common the service would be useless, but it works for millions. The problem is at your end, not everybody's.
The login name is just a text string to iCloud, not an address.

Time and iCal

I am building an applescript to place some events in my calendar every week. The finished product will not place the event on every day according to the results of filtering the calendar for other events in that week. I am stuck on the placement procedure because the script seems to be working as I intended ( when you read the log ), but the events are all getting piled up in iCal on the day the script runs. Any ideas? Here are the script and the log:
Script:
tell application "iCal"
set myCalendar to "Home"
set today to current date
tell calendar myCalendar
make new todo at end of todos with properties {due date:(today + (7 * days)), summary:"My Todo"}
set n to 7
repeat while n > 0
set todaystime to (time of today) as integer
set starttime to (today + (n * days)) - todaystime + (17 * hours)
set endtime to (today + (n * days)) - todaystime + (17 * hours) + (15 * minutes)
make new event at end of events with properties ¬
{startdate:starttime, enddate:endtime, summary:"My Event"}
set n to n - 1
end repeat
end tell
(*view calendar myCalendar at today*)
end tell
Log:
tell application "iCal"
current date
make new todo at end of every todo of calendar "Home" with properties {due date:date "Tuesday, September 12, 2006 5:15:06 PM", summary:"My Todo"}
make new event at end of every event of calendar "Home" with properties {summary:"My Event", startdate:date "Tuesday, September 12, 2006 5:00:00 PM", enddate:date "Tuesday, September 12, 2006 5:15:00 PM"}
make new event at end of every event of calendar "Home" with properties {summary:"My Event", startdate:date "Monday, September 11, 2006 5:00:00 PM", enddate:date "Monday, September 11, 2006 5:15:00 PM"}
make new event at end of every event of calendar "Home" with properties {summary:"My Event", startdate:date "Sunday, September 10, 2006 5:00:00 PM", enddate:date "Sunday, September 10, 2006 5:15:00 PM"}
make new event at end of every event of calendar "Home" with properties {summary:"My Event", startdate:date "Saturday, September 9, 2006 5:00:00 PM", enddate:date "Saturday, September 9, 2006 5:15:00 PM"}
make new event at end of every event of calendar "Home" with properties {summary:"My Event", startdate:date "Friday, September 8, 2006 5:00:00 PM", enddate:date "Friday, September 8, 2006 5:15:00 PM"}
make new event at end of every event of calendar "Home" with properties {summary:"My Event", startdate:date "Thursday, September 7, 2006 5:00:00 PM", enddate:date "Thursday, September 7, 2006 5:15:00 PM"}
make new event at end of every event of calendar "Home" with properties {summary:"My Event", startdate:date "Wednesday, September 6, 2006 5:00:00 PM", enddate:date "Wednesday, September 6, 2006 5:15:00 PM"}
end tell
As you can see the in the log, the script is doing what I wanted it to, going forward a week and placing events on all the days coming back to the day before the current day. Is there something I am missing? Or could this be a bug in the communication between the script and iCal?
Thanks in avance for any help

Hi,
Isn't it the property for 'event' 'start date' with the space between start and date. I don't know if they changed this in Tiger, but you might want to check out the dictionary for iCal again.

Ical invites seen off by 1 hour in Outlook for IST (India Standard Time)

Hi,
I have this strange problem since I migrated to MAC recently and started using iCal. Earlier I was using Thunderbird with Lightning. I am in the India time zone (IST). Whenever I create an appointment using iCal and send invites (using MAC Mail) to meeting participants, the Outlook users among the recipients see the meeting at a time that is an hour ahead of the scheduled time. Lightning users get the invite correctly. Both my Mac and the recipients are using IST timezone.
Please note that India does not use daylight saving. I dug into the problem a bit and I have a speculation about what is going wrong.
India used daylight saving briefly in 1942. The VTIMEZONE specification generated in the ics by iCal seems to specify that daylight savings is used since May 15, 1942, and standard time is used since Sep 1, 1942. My speculation is that Outlook interprets this as saying that daylight saving is in force today (July 2013), probably just ignoring the year specification. Other calendar applications possibly are unaware of this bit of world war II history.
Any way that I can get iCal to not include the timezone information or to modify its 1942 memory? Currently, I am creating all appointments using UTC but that's obviously not pleasant.
Here is a paste of the relevant data in the ics file.
BEGIN:VTIMEZONE
TZID:Asia/Kolkata
BEGIN:STANDARD
TZOFFSETFROM:+0630
DTSTART:19420515T000000
TZNAME:GMT+05:30
TZOFFSETTO:+0530
RDATE:19420515T000000
RDATE:19451015T000000
END:STANDARD
BEGIN:DAYLIGHT
TZOFFSETFROM:+0530
DTSTART:19420901T000000
TZNAME:GMT+05:30
TZOFFSETTO:+0630
RDATE:19420901T000000
END:DAYLIGHT
END:VTIMEZONE

Hi, any thoughts here? I tried replacing the system timezone file for IST with a vanilla +0530 GMT offset one (in /var/share/zoneinfo) but that didn't work (even after a reboot). Does Mail (and other such applications) not use the system timezone definition files?

I can no longer send iCal invitations. I have not changed any settings, passwords or email accounts. No idea what to do.

Greetings,
Questions:
What happens when you put in an email address in an event? (Make sure the email address is also in your addressbook (Macintosh HD > Applications > Addressbook)
Are you using calendars that show up under "On My Mac" on the left hand side of iCal or are the calendars under a different heading?
Troubleshooting:
Make sure that you can send / receive email in the Apple Mail program.
Make sure that the email address in Mail > Preferences > Accounts is also on your Addressbook card:Go to Addressbook > Card > Go to My Card -- The email address you are using to send receive messages on your computer should be on this card.
If that doesn't take care of it:
1. First make an iCal backup: Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
2. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
3. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
4. Launch iCal and test.
If the issue persists:
1. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
--- NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
3. Launch iCal and test.
Hope that helps!

Removing email address from auto populate box in ICal invites

I deleted a contact/email address from my address book but his name/email still shows up in ical as choice for invites. His address is not in my mail's "previous recipients" list and is removed from contacts. How do I stop it from being a choice to populate in my ical invite?

ICal invites coming as e-mail attachments

Hi all,
My wife and I both have two AppleIDs. One that is used for iTunes and AppStores. The other is our MobileMe (now iCloud.com) e-mail address, which is used for all iCloud services. We both have OSX and iOS.
According to:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895
this is supported scenario and has worked correctly for for quite some time, with iCal invites appearing in the iCal apps, either on OSX or on iOS. We are both on OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.4 and iOS 6.1.3.
However, in the recent past (I can't lock in a specific time frame), iCal invites that we send to each other are now comig as e-mails with reply buttons and .ics attachments, rather than within iCal, either on OSX or on iOS.
When logging in to the AppleID site, I note that for my iTunes/AppStores ID, my me.com e-mail is listed as the primary address and is indicated as "Verified", with a green check mark. If I login in to the AppleID site with my me.com address, my me.com e-mail is listed as the primary address, however, it is not indicated as "Verified" and I don't see a way to do that. Presumably only one AppleID can have the verified status?
Prior posts on the matter suggest to be sure that there are no secondary addresses associated with the AppleIDs and there are none for either of us.
While this scenario has worked for some time, as a result of this new behavior, I am now wondering if having two different AppleIDs is the problem, or perhaps that both AppleIDs have the same primary e-mail address is the problem.
Should I have both of us redo our iCloud logins on OSX and iOS using the iTunes/AppStore AppleID instead of the me.com e-mail AppleID? Presumably, if that is a solution, I will need to be sure that we don't lose all of our synched data across our devices.
Does this scenario ring a bell with anyone and if so, did you find a solution?
Thanks,
Marc

I powered my iPad off, and started it back up. Works fine now. huh.

Replying to ical invitations with comments (notes)

How can I reply to iCal invitations but with the addition of notes ?
I can do this on my iPhone / iPad but I cannot see any possibility on the OSX calendar.
I am using iOS 6 and OSX 10.8.2

Plus, you can't accept an invitation with adding an attachment...
