OSX Yosemite Calendar - Repeated Meeting Invites Being Sent

I have an MS Exchange account (Office 365 for business) set up in the Calendar application (Yosemite). For a few recurring meetings with multiple invitees (both internal and external to our organization) Calendar, through the Mail application, is sending multiple meeting invites to those participants who were originally invited and had accepted. I cannot determine what activity is causing these invitations to resend but it is quite annoying (especially when client's keep getting the notifications. The frequency seems to occur randomly and can be months after a meeting was created. Any thoughts or insight?

If you don't be granted the permission for someone's calendar folder, we need to set automatically process meeting requests on his mailbox. In Outlook 2013, we can do this from File > Calendar > Automatic accept or decline section > Auto Accept/Decline
Or we may set Outlook rule to auto-accept the meeting invites:

  • Multiple duplicate meeting invitations being sent out

    One of exec. admins is experiencing the issue where she sets up meeting invitations (as a delegate on behalf of one of the VPs she supports) and sends them out via Outlook 2003 from her desktop PC. She also has her exchange account on her Iphone which has verion 3 on it. Within a 24 period and usually much sooner, the same meeting invite keeps sending itself out over and over with no way to stop it. We have tried reinstalling MS Office 2003 and reimaging her PC but no resolution, even swapping Iphones. We do know that when her exchange account is completely removed from her Iphone, the entire issue goes away? Anyone else experiencing this issue and if so, any way to resolve it?

    We have a similar issue happening in our organization. Our project management team all use iPhone 3G (9 of them.) We manage a team of professionals from many companies and in many timezones, and the members have been receiving way too many copies of meeting invitations from us and are getting angry. Some are forming negative opinions about our organization because of this and blaming our IT team; this needs to stop ASAP. Does the 3.1 verison repair this problem Apple?? It isnt helpful that Apple hasn't been responding to people in their forums with Exchange calendaring problems and this problem Trumps the others by far.
    Any assistance would be great!

  • Old meeting invites being accepted

    I've just moved to iCloud from me.com and in syncing my calendar, it seems to have gone and accepted every meeting invitation I've ever received! Some of my clients are responding with more than a little bemusement. Thanks a lot, Apple, for making me look like a complete idiot.

    I have just found out why my meetings are showing as tentative at work; because I accept them on my iPhone it leaves them as tentative and doesn't change them to busy.
    Latest iOS ; Exchange 2010; synced via the native Exchange EAP on iPhone.
    Only workaround I know of is to manually change the request to busy before hitting accept

  • Invite Email not being sent from iCal from a Google Apps calendar

    Hello,
    I am running Mac OS X 10.6.5, iCal 4.0.4, and am attempting to do the following from a Google Apps calendar I have setup in iCal. Please note that it's not gmail, it's Google Apps. If that makes a difference. That being said...
    I am trying to create a meeting invite from iCal. I am able to create the invite and add attendees with no problem. When I hit send (from iCal), the invitees do not receive an email notification of the event, but it does appear their calendar (both in iCal and via Google Calendar on the web). I need an email to be sent to the invitees that they have been invited to a meeting, not just to have it appear on their calendars.
    When I create the meeting invite via Google Calendar on the Web the invitees do receive an email notification (as specified in their calendar preferences). The issue only happens when the meeting invite is created in iCal.
    When an invitee accepts or declines a meeting via iCal I receive an acceptance or declining email. Just not when the meeting invite is sent.
    Also, I am able to create a meeting on one of the "On My Computer" calendars in iCal, invite people, and a meeting invitation is sent as expected.
    And again, the invitees have notification of meeting invites turned on in their calendar settings (as is shown by the fact that when the invite is sent out via Google Calendar on the Web they receive an email with the invite).
    Thanks! Any assistance would be awesome.

    That was actually my post on the Google forums
    Here is what I have found so far (and hopefully some of my assumptions are correct, because we're making the full switch to Google Apps this weekend and I am assuming it will work after this). This is long, but I'm trying to be thorough. Also note that I have updated to 10.6.6 since the time I first posted my last message.
    We are currently piloting Google Apps, so our primary domain (which I will refer to from now on as domain.com) still points to our old exchange servers. Mail is currently being delivered to our Google Apps pilot accounts the following way:
    1. User sends an email to [email protected]. This email is delivered to our old Exchange servers.
    2. Once the email is received on our old Exchange servers it gets forwarded to our Google Apps test domain (gtest.domain.com).
    This seems to be an important piece of the puzzle as our primary domain (domain.com) shows up on the Google Apps for Admin dashboard as improperly setup (which is correct, because we're currently piloting)
    So, in iCal I have my Google Apps account setup (I'm one of the pilot users) the following way. I added the Account as Google calendar in iCal, but once the account shows up it shows up as a CalDAV account.
    Under the account information tab:
    CalDAV
    Description: [email protected]
    User name: [email protected]
    Password: my password
    Under the server settings tab (*NOTE: these were entered in automatically when I setup the calendar as a Google calendar)
    Server address: www.google.com
    Server path: the path to my calendar.
    Use SSL is checked
    Use Kerberos v5 is NOT checked
    So, during my testing I was sending meeting invites from people who were in the Google Apps pilot to other people who were in the Google Apps pilot. When I was doing that, no invitations were getting sent.
    I created a new email account on our exchange server ([email protected]) but did NOT set it up to be a part of the Google Apps pilot (this means that emails were not being forwarded from [email protected] to [email protected]). Doing this successfully delivered all invites, cancellations, and meeting updates from iCal!
    From what I can tell there must be something going on (probably my own fault) when a calendar invite is sent from my Google Apps account, through our old Exchange system, and then back to our Google Account. My assumption is it has something to do with the fact that our MX records for domain.com currently point to our old exchange servers, and the MX records for gtest.domain.com point to the Google Apps servers. It may also have something to do with the SPF record which only allows emails from domain.com to be sent from our Exchange servers.
    Those are just guesses though as I am not very knowledgeable in that area.
    I hope this helps and I would love to hear about anyone else working on this issue.

  • Calendar meeting invites contain no information since update to 10.3.1.1565

    Hi All
    If I receive a calendar meeting invite from Exchange users with Outlook 2010 to my Q10 device, and I open it, there are 3 tabs along the top of the screen, Details, People and Emails, but the rest of the screen has no information its just white, so I cannot see what time the meeting is or where it is etc.
    Any ideas, suggestions, assistance greatly appreciated (urgently! 18 users involved)
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    After more troubleshooting with the user he reported the top of the calendar day view had the error "Some accounts failed to respond", he also had Hotmail account running and an AOL email account which he had not finished configuring. I suggested he delete the non corporate accounts and see what happens.
    He reported that after deleting just the AOL account and restarting the Q10 the calendar and meeting invites were all ok!!

  • TS3899 Sending a meeting invite from Exchange 2007 account located in Central Time from Outlook 2010 Email Client located in Eastern Time cause meeting to show up 1 hour early on iPhone

    Sending a meeting invite from Exchange 2007 account located in Central Time from Outlook 2010 Email Client located in Eastern Time cause meeting to show up 1 hour early on iPhone.

    The meeting invite is being sent from a Computer through the Outlook 2010 Email Client. Both Computer and Outlook 2010 are set to Eastern Time. The OWA (Outlook Web Access) for the 2007 account is set to Eastern Time. The Outlook 2010 Email Client is connected to an Exchange 2007 account and the Exchange server for the exchange 2007 account is located in Chicago (Central Time) and is set to Central Time. When the meeting invite is sent from the Outlook 2010 Client the recipient receives the invite on his/her iPhone(set and located in the Eastern Time Zone) and a mime-attachment.ics file is attached to the meeting invite email. There is no info displayed in the subject line or message body. If the iPhone user opens the attachment it displays the meeting date and time and any other info that was sent from Outlook. The Outlook 2010 user sets the meeting for 10:00am to 11:00am. when the meeting invite mime-attachment.ics file is opened on the iPhone the meeting is displayed as 9:00am to 10:00am. if the iPhone user adds the ics file to his/her calendar it adds a meeting event that is scheduled 1 hour earlier than it is supposed to be. I had the iPhone user to set Time Zone support on and off and there is no change.

  • Calendar invites from ios7 not being sent to exchange users

    I have a personal iPad and want to keep my personal calendar separate from my work calendar (which is on Exchange) but do need to add occasional personal items into my work calendar. My thought was to simply add my work email address as an invitee to any event I need in both calendars but I've tried this a few times now and the invite never arrives.
    Any suggestions as to what I've not got set up correctly?
    Thanks

    I am having this problem as well.  Specifically, when I create a new calendar meeting I am able to add users to the invitation and when I save the invite it gets sent.  I have also modified an existing calendar event that has other people invited, and when I exit editing the meeting a pop up window specifically asks if I want to save my changes "and send it to the other invited participants" or something like that.
    I click yes.
    In both cases (the original creation and invitation, and the modification and send update to attendees) nothing is received by the other recipients.  Not a calendar event or invitation, not an email with a .ics attachment or similar, or not even an email notification.
    Thus, I set up an event in my calendar, invite others, and no one is aware that the event was set up.
    Is there any way around this?  I don't think I'm doing anything wrong as the process of creating an event, inviting someone, and sending out the invitation seems pretty straight forward.  It just isn't working.

  • Invitations not being sent out on Calendar Server 6.3

    We would be grateful for any help on this. We can give further details if needed, please just let us know.
    Thanks very much.
    Issue:
    To our customers the calendars server appears to be fully operational and without error. However, when a customer creates a new event and invites other people to attend, no invites are sent out. The event creator, however, believes all is in order as no error messages appear and the list of invitees appears on the event. This was working recently. We have looked for things which have changed (e.g. disk space, size of files, corruption, recent patching, licenses expiring, etc) but have not yet found anything that has changed.

    Sounds like we talking about 'Event Invitations Notifications'. These are the notifications that gets sent when some one invite you to an event. Whether you receive the notification or not depends on your preference that is stored in ldap. This can be set using the Convergence by navigating through Options-> Calendar -> Notifcations (Check "Notify me via email of new invitations or invitation changes"). The actual ldap attributes that gets stored in user's entry is below.
    icsExtendedUserPrefs: ceNotifyEnable=1
    icsExtendedUserPrefs: ceNotifyEmail=[email protected]
    In the following cases, the user (attendee) will not get notifications even if the above preference is set.
    a> Creating an event with attendees in the past. CS6, by default, suppresses notifications for past events. You can enable notifications for past events by setting the config "ine.pastnotification.enable" to "yes" in ics.conf
    b> If the client creating the event requests server not to send notifications. (smtpNotify wcap param for storeevents.wcap). Outlook Connector uses this wcap param, so you won't get server notifications for the events invited using Outlook Connector. Outlook Connector sends it's own notifications directly.
    I think, you are looking for these kind of notifications. The process responsible for sending these notifications is "csadmind" on the Frontend. So, you need to check admin.log on the Frontend to see if it is sending notifications or not.

  • ICloud calendar invites not sent

    When a friend sends meeting invitations, they appear not to ever arrive at the recipient.
    I've been doing some research to work out why, and found a lot of discussion that basically says: if the recipient's email address is associated with an iCloud account, iCloud will always deliver the meeting request to their iCloud account (when really it should go to their email!)
    For example, my email address at Gmail is associated with my iCloud account so I never receive the invited as I don't use iCloud mail. My business address which is on my own domain and not associated with an iCloud account, receives invites just fine.
    Apparently there is a tickbox in iCloud settings which says to deliver the message rather than 'notifying' the user, which is meant to fix it, but this would mean my friend would have to get all of his recipients to do this! A bit ridiculous.
    People appear to have been complaining about this issue for a couple of years - I can't believe Apple still hasn't changed this situation.
    Unless anyone here begs to differ and knows another way around it?

    To follow up on my experience, back around Nov 1st when I originally posted, I had already combed through all the findable threads of related errors and one-by-one determined none of them were applicable to my scenario. Nonetheless, I went through the step of terminating my calendars and recreating them and so forth. All that effort had no effect.
    Fast forward.
    While I'm not a believer in magic, I noticed sometime around Nov 27th (or thereabouts), my calendar invites were suddenly being sent. Perhaps then there is hope for others in my situation. I am confident nothing changed on my side, so perhaps Apple made some silent updates in the cloud that sorted out the issue. In any event, I wanted to report that it suddenly started functioning as desired with no action on my part.

  • Calendar appointments not being sent

    Hi, I am having an issue with our exchange server, Exchange 2010. 
    This issue just started happening out of the blue, Up to now everything was working properly.
    We have a resource room mailbox established for a conference room (This is set up as a standard user) When a user schedules time with the room (They invite the room through a scheduled meeting) the is posted on the calendar of the meeting room as not accepted
    and nothing else happens, The email that should be sent to the user that set up the meeting never arrives.  
    I don't see any errors in the event log to dictate why this would be happening, When i look at the mailboxes through the tracking logs I don't see any emails being sent back and forth, As well I checked all the settings
    on the mailbox for automated processing and everything is set up as I originally set it up.
    I setup a new user as a resource only mailbox, And the same thing happens with that calendar, I am also hearing users in the company are having the same issues,
    Thanks, 
    Dave

    Hi Dave,
    From your description, the mailbox you use for conference is not a special room mailbox. It is a standard user mailbox. I think that is the problem, it should be configured as a room type and not a user mailbox.
    If I have misunderstood your concern, please feel free to let me know.
    What's more, about how to create and manage room mailbox, here are some helpful threads for your reference.

  • How to prevent invitations from being sent automatically by Siri/iCloud/iCal?

    I have recently discovered, through a series of embarrassing events, that when I use Siri to schedule an appointment with someone, that person automatically receives an email from iCloud inviting them to my appointment. I do not even get a prompt asking me if I want to send them an email. These emails are being sent without my knowledge or approval! This can happen with a Siri command as simple as "schedule coffee with John on Friday morning at 10:00." I want to see an appointment in my calendar called "Coffee with John" at the appropriate time. I do not want to see "Coffee with John Doe" (last name added automatically) and have John receive an invitation by email. What setting do I use to change this?

    Hello Vtgolfr, 
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like the Calendar event that you created on your iPhone included your brother's email address. Before saving an event in the future, you may want to check the invitee field to see if his email is being populated by Siri when you create a calendar event.
    You can find more information about Calendar invitations in the iOS 8 User Guide:

  • Calendar Meeting Invite from Outlook 2010 to iCal

    Hello,
    I am very VERY new to Macs and to be honest Calendar invites in general (Came from a Lotus Domino environment). I have come across an oddity that I am almost sure is related to the content of the .ICS file generated by Outlook and then sent to a mail user who uses an Apple Max OS X 10.7.3. (our Managing Director). It has resulted in me (IT for the company) buying an Apple Mac to try and troubleshoot. Sorrry for the Blurb
    Working Scenario is
    1. Use a Google email account and the Web interface to send a meeting invite to another Google homed account and that person uses a Mac as described.
    2. Invite arrives and is automatically available in iCal with a tentative meeting (grey) event PLUS the notification panel in iCal showing an alert.
    3. The notification Panel alert can then be used to Accept/decline the invite.
    For the MD this is how he wants to work. As he gets numerous invites he can quickly scan down the notification alerts and access/decline as he goes. Rather than opening all of the email messages.
    Failing Scenario is
    1. Use an Outlook 2010 client to send the exact same invite to the same person at the same time (etc.)
    2. Invite arrives in the Mac mail Box. BUT DOES NOT trigger iCal's notification panel
    3. The Mac User needs to click on the attached .ICS file and if iCal is also visible you can see the notification alert appear
    I have TextEdited both .ICS files and yes they are different. The general VCALENDAR elements are roughly the same but there differences with bits and pieces that a too numerous to mention. There is also all of the garbage with X- elements which I would think iCal will ignore anyway. I have tried hacking the failing .ICS when it arrives but that doesn't mimic the same type of flow and in the end I can't modify the .ICS files either as they are sent or arrive.
    Yes, I have told the Outlook client to send using the iCalendar format for external recipients.
    I was wondering if anyone had come across the same type of requirement or the same type of issue?
    thanks in advance
    Bruce.

    I had the identical problem.  I still don't know how to sync the tasks, but here's how I did the contacts and calendar:
    1.  Connect the 4s to the computer.
    2.  Open iTunes.
    3.  Click the iPhone box in the upper right corner.
    4.  Click on the info tab.
    5.  Hit the checkbox Sync Contacts with... and choose Outlook from the dropdown box.
    6.  Ditto for Calendars.
    7.  Hit Apply.
    My problem was that originally, I wasn't getting the checkboxes.  I turned off the iCloud settings on the 4s.  That did the trick.

  • Accepting Calendar requests, not being sent.

    When accepting calendar requests send by people, the status in the appointment shows that I have accepted, great! However, in the mail app, the acceptance email remains in the drafts folder. Even after going into the drafts folder and re-sending this acceptance, it acts like it is being sent (as in, there are no errors), but it remains in the drafts, and there is nothing in the sent items.
    My concern is that the original sender of the request, is not getting the confirmation that I have accepted.
    Thank you in advance.
    Dan

    I'm having the same problem. I've seen this happen when accepting or declining the invite. These invites are coming to me from an exchange account. Any info would be appreciated.

  • Checking of calendar details from meeting invitations

    Hi,
    Compared to previous BlackBerry software versions / generations, I haven't found a way for checking schedule surrounding the time of proposed meeting from the received meeting invitation (e.g. to check if I have enough time for getting to the meeting place from a previous meeting, find if I still have some time for having lunch between the different meetings, etc.). Obviously, I can remember the proposed meeting time, open the calendar application and find the day of the requested meeting there, but that is not very user friendly. Have I missed some simple solution?

    I have a very similar issue that sounds like the same root cause, and I've had this issue ever since Mac OS started supporting Exchange server;
    For any *recurring* meeting that I organise, if I click the 'Snooze' button on the notification- all of the attendees are sent a meeting update.
    Sounds like the same issue- and given that it's been around for over 5 years, I suspect it's not going to get resolved any time soon.

  • Calendar sending Exchange meeting invites on snooze or close

    Since the upgrade to Yosemite, I am experiencing an issue with recurring meetings.
    I am the organizer of several recurring meetings is an Exchange calendar. The meetings all have a 15 minute reminder set. Once the reminder notification is shown, I select either the 'Close' or 'Snooze' button on the notification. This causes an update to the meeting to be sent to all invitees.
    Any ideas on how to fix this? 

    First of all, I would like to confirm if you have
    assigned any privilege
    to someone as an Editor. If so, he/she would be able to change, edit or delete meeting requests. You may enable auditing for such changes that will help you to check the changes such as,
    who was the person of changes. Please refer to this well described article that helps to understand this concern step-wise :
    http://msexchangeguru.com/2011/07/14/outlook-meeting-vanishing/
    Moreover, here is another good auditing resource (http://www.exchangeauditing.com/) that could be an appropriate solution to track such changes made in exchange server at granular level and get the captured
    auditing data into real time.

Maybe you are looking for
