Problem viewing attendees on a meeting invite

I have a user setup as a delegate within Exchange\Outlook to her supervisor. Currently this user receives all meeting invites for her supervisor without issue. However, upon upgrading to the new 8330 Blackberry Curve when an invite for the supervisor is received on the user's BB she does not have access to view other attendees. This functionality was available prior to the upgrade of her device.
I'm not sure if this is an Exchange\Outlook issue? (no settings were changed for the device upgrade)
Or a setting on the BB itself?
Thoughts?
Thanks!

There is a new app doing that. ReplyAll - Reply To All & Forward Calendar Events app is a new iPhone app which allows users to Reply to All attendees of a Calendar Event or Forward an Event to a new invitee as well as replying by SMS to the Event Organizer. The ReplyAll App designed with all new beautifully iOS 7 Look & Feel.

Meeting Invite/Update Problems

I'm having a couple of very annoying problems about scheduling meetings.
Context: I have a Curve 8330 on Sprint and use BIS
Problem 1: Duplicate meetings in my calendar
1. Let's say I setup a meeting from on my BB and invite an attendee
2. Looking at my calendar, I see the meeting there (once).
3. Later on (after I get both my auto cc back for all sent messages, and the other person accepts the meeting), I now have the meeting in my calendar twice.
Note: I have not sync'd in the interim - this is all on the BB handheld.
Problem 2: Can't receive meeting updates or cancellations
While the BB can understand new meeting invitations, I can't get it to recognize meeting updates and meeting cancellations from others using outlook (standalone or with Exchange).
In replies, please consider that I use BIS
Thanks a lot,
Steve
(very frustrated)

Hi,
yes, I always would suggest to use a bootable cd, for updating bios.
It´ll reduce the risk.
If your machine runs satisfactorily now, then I wouldn´t update anything.

ICal, iCloud, and meeting invitation woes

Hi all. Fair warning - I'm brand new to the Mac world. I'm a long-time Windows user who now has a shiny new MacBook Pro, primarily for the benefit of what I can already tell is superior hardware.
On the software side, however, I'm struggling with the migration. I've solved most of my issues, but one is really eluding me. I have Office 2011, including Outlook, but I keep being told by Mac users that Outlook on the Mac is buggy and is inferior to using iCal, Apple Mail, and Address Book. Ok, I'll bite. I've been trying to use these tools as my primary means for handling my mail and calendar needs. This is where I run into trouble.
My world of data, like most people's, is split into two: work and personal. For personal, I primarly use google tools including google calendar and gmail. For work, I have an IMAP mail system with a work e-mail account, but we have no work-based calendar server. I have an iPad2 and an iPhone4. This is all relevant because what I want is to have mail and events, both work and personal, synchronized and accessible across all my devices over "the cloud." The personal side is easy enough to handle. I added my google calendar to iCal, just like I added it on my phone and iPad, so no worries there. E-mail, similarly, is simple enough. The issue is when I try to figure out how to handle my work calendar.
My first thought was iCloud - but my Apple ID, used by iCloud is based on my personal e-mail account (gmail). I've found that when I try to add an event to my iCloud "work" calendar in iCal and invite attendees (a very very common practice in my business world), the invitation comes from my gmail account and my gmail account is listed as the organizer of the event. This is a huge problem for me. In searching online, people suggest all sorts of different ways of solving this. Re-ordering the e-mail addresses on the "Me" contact card in Address Book. Re-ordering the accounts in Mail. I even went as far as deleting my gmail account from both Mail and Address Book. Nothing works. I'm assuming that because the event is created in iCloud, that the organizer is set to the Apple ID that is associated with the iCloud account, and there seems to be nothing I can do about that.
My second thought was to create another Apple ID and use that one to create a new iCloud calendar for my work life, but I'm under the impression that you can't have more than one iCloud account actively syncing on an iPhone or iPad.
My current solution is to have a calendar that is only "On My Mac" that I create work events on. I've found that if I have Mail set to send new messages, by default, from my work e-mail address, then new meeting invitations on the Mac-only calendar are sent on behalf of my work account, with my work account listed as the organizer. This solution, while working on the Mac itself, does not solve my synchronization issues with my iPhone and iPad. I suppose I could sync through iTunes, but my calendar is so active that I'd really prefer to have a cloud-based solution.
All that being said - is there a cloud-based solution to having both a personal and work calendar, with each calendar being associated with different e-mail addresses? Is there any way to change the e-mail account associated with a specific calendar in either iCal or iCloud? If not, there probably should be!
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello there.
Exact same situation here. Do you have a solution yet? Also for me its not acceptable to send meeting invitations from my personal account which is also my apple id...

Sending Calender Meeting Invites no longer working with Hotmail account

BlackBerry 9700
v6.0.0.461
I use Hotmail email
I think this started to fail when I upgraded to the new OS. When I create a new Calender appointment, it no longer shows up in my hotmail calender. If I invite attendees, all they get is a blank email, they no longer get a proper meeting request in their Outlook inbox.
However, if they send me a meeting invite, it is properly recognized on my blackberry.
As best I tried scouring the internet looking at various BB forums, I went into options and deleted my Hotmail email account on the phone. I set it up again and it does not fix the problem.
As far as I can tell, my hotmail account is a now typical account that has pop3 access.
Thanks.
EDIT: I removed the Hotmail account and added a GMail account. The GMail account workes totally fine with meeting invites. Also, after the creation of the GMail account, there is now a second inbox icon on my BB home screen. This icon is an envelope like the original one but also has a graphic of the world over-layed on top of it that resembles the Browser icon.
However.... my real problem remains... I need this to work with my Hotmail.com address.

Today I noticed that this same thing is happening to me, but with the GMail account... From the other four accounts works fine, but when the appointment is to Google Calendar, the "Atttedees" box dissapears!

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

======================
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?

Duplicate recipients in an updated meeting invite

Hello,
I have a colleague who has a problem with meeting invites.
She has sent a meeting on behalf of her boss, to 3 external recipients.
When she updates that meeting, the recipients get duplicated. so in the 'To' field, the same person appears twice. so in this case, there's 3 persons so each name appears twice on the invite.
Does anyone know a reason for this please?

Can't Accept Meeting Invitations from Outlook 2003

I may be beating a dead horse here, but I just got the new iPhone 3GS, former Blackberry user. We do not use Outlook Exchange Server, but we do use just the stand alone Outlook 2003 application for calendars. I used to be able to open and respond to meeting invitations on my Blackberry, but have found that I can't open the meeting invitation on the new iPhone. From what I have read so far, it seems that this may not be currently supported by the iPhone. Can someone confirm this for me? If this is true, is there some work around by switching to using Google Calendar or Mobileme or something for Calendars??

I'm a former Palm Treo user for years, syncing with Palm desktop on my PC, and have several thousand appointments with notes on my Palm, as well as over 1000 contacts. I just switched to the i-phone 3GS, moved all my data from the palm over to Outlook 2003, synced after much heartache and difficulty, then moved all this data to the i-phone via i-tunes. As a first time user, the usefulness of the built-in calendar app. is weak, and when you have multiple overlapping appointments, it's very difficult to see these appointments in an easy visual field. In addition, there's no way to search for any content within the appointments other than by the particular day. Nor can you see the year view on the calendar.
Does any former Palm of Blackberry business user have another Calendar application suggestion for the 3GS or 3G that will sync with Outlook 2003, or better yet with Mobile Me? If you move to a different app for calendar, syncing with multiple machines or Mobile me is a problem, from what Apple tech support tells me.
Thanks.

Count the Attendees of a meeting, that have sended an Accept Response to the organisator with EWS

Hello,
I am struggling to count the attendees, who accepted the meeting invitation for a meeting over EWS.
I am able to see the organisators meetings through impersonation and count the number of required attendees for the meeting.
//Determine User to impersonat
string impersonated_email = "user@domain";
service.ImpersonatedUserId = new ImpersonatedUserId(ConnectingIdType.SmtpAddress, impersonated_email);
//Bind User Calendar
FolderId UserCalendarId = new FolderId(WellKnownFolderName.Calendar, impersonated_email);
CalendarFolder UserCalendar = CalendarFolder.Bind(service, UserCalendarId);
// Initialize values for the start and end times, and the number of appointments to retrieve.
DateTime startDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(0);
DateTime endDate = startDate.AddDays(1);
// Execute the search in the calendar folder and return the view
CalendarView userCalendar = new CalendarView(startDate, endDate);
userCalendar.PropertySet = new PropertySet(BasePropertySet.FirstClassProperties);
FindItemsResults<Appointment> apt = service.FindAppointments(WellKnownFolderName.Calendar, userCalendar);
foreach (Item item in apt.Items)
//Console.WriteLine(item.Subject);
ServiceResponseCollection<GetItemResponse> myColl = service.BindToItems(new[] { new ItemId(item.Id.UniqueId) }, userCalendar.PropertySet);
foreach (GetItemResponse temp in myColl)
Appointment app = (Appointment)temp.Item;
Int32 Tn = app.RequiredAttendees.Count-1;
Console.WriteLine(app.Subject + " " +Tn);
I would like to also see how many required attendees have accepted the meeting invitation.
Kind Regards
Ioannis

Hi,
Attendee class has a property : Attendee.ResponseType.

Meeting invitations from Mail not making it 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

I should clarify that.
Lotus Notes Meeting Invitations aren't being imported into iCal +with any degree of reliability+, and the more I look into this, the more mysterious it seems to get.
Here's my situation. I use an iMac at work and a MacBook Pro at home.

Exchange 2007/Outlook 2007 - Attendees Missing In Meeting

We have a user (UserA) who is unable to see attendees in multiple meetings.
After reviewing one specific meeting, I saw:
1. From the organizer's account, I confirmed that the meeting does have multiple required attendees.
2. The meeting was not forwarded to UserA. UserA is a required attendee.
3. UserA experiences the problem on multiple devices.
4. As a test from my account, I viewed the Organizer's calendar and was able to see the attendees successfully.
I've tried refreshing Free/Busy from the appointment. I've tried using outlook.exe /cleanfreebusy and that does not appear to work. My senior and I are kind of at a loss with this one because we've never seen this.
Exchange SP3 2007 Rollup 11/Outlook 2007 SP3 is being used.
Any assistance would be appreciated with this.

Hi,
This issue is often caused by a mobile device syncing with the Calendar. So try to update the mobile device. Please check whether UserA can view attendees in OWA. Please enable Exchange and Outlook logging to help confirm what is actually happening with
these meetings. Also try to send a meeting to UserA in Outlook to check whether the issue can reproduced.
Thanks,

ICal Crashes When Sending Meeting Invite/Reply

iCal is otherwise functioning normally, but when you send out the meeting invite to the attendees, iCal immediatedly quits. The same happens when you attempt to confirm or deny a meeting invite from another person. The usual iCal fixes I have used in the past don't seem to be working.
I have:
Reset the iSync History
Blown out the Application Support data
iCal Plist
dumped launchservices.plist
Tested with another local user- it did work (as usual)
1.67Ghz 17" AlBook Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Starting the problem trace at the beginning, the
invitations are being sent from people in your
Address Book, correct? I ask this because a client of
mine was getting messages from an alternate address
(billb@ and not bill@) and these were getting skipped
(not sent to iCal) because billb@ was not a
registered Address Book entry.
The fast way to tell is look at the mail and see if
there is a green dot to the left of the message.
I'm still not to the point of recommending an iCal
reinstall, though. There are a few other things that
it could be.
So, the sender of the message is in my address book as "[email protected]".
I also have the Exchange LDAP store configured in Address Book, and the sender is resolvable there as "[email protected]".
The message is sent from their machine via Outlook and Exchange. On the invitation, the senders address appears as shown in LDAP.
The recipient (myself) is as their client resolved from the Exchange server, so "[email protected]". The first entry on my "me" card is "[email protected]".
I see no "green dot" next to any email.
At the moment, though, automatic transfer of the invitation is less important than elimination of the Address Book crashes. However, I do appreciate the help -- any more ideas?

Lync 2013 meeting invitation customizations not working for some users

Hello Microsoft TechNet Forms,
I have a strange problem that I am totally stumped on. I made some modifications to the Lync 2013 meeting configuration to add in my company's logo, a footer and set a custom help Lync URL. Now everything seemed to work expect for myself and
one other person I tested with. If I try creating a new Lync 2013 meeting via my Outlook 2013 the normal stock Lync meeting invite appears. Yet testing with any other user everything I have changed appears as expected and I am at a total loss to why.
I have so far from troubleshooting determined it must be something with my account that is causing it but I have just not been able to determine what. As signing into a different machine yields the same result yet testing with another account that is
known to work on the exact same machine works correctly with the different account. I have tired deleting and re-crating my Lync account just in case that had something to do with it but that didn't fix the problem. I have tired repairing Office 2013 to
running windows update on Office 2013 which didn't help.
The changes I made to the meeting configuration are global scoped. I have so far not found anything online from anyone ever reporting a similar issue to this. At this point I am stuck on what I should be looking for with regards to what is stopping
the meeting invite updating for myself and the other person. Given I don't know what mechanism is involved with updating the Lync meeting invite on Outlook 2013 I am stumped. I am open to any suggestions someone might have as to what to do next or what might
be the cause of this problem.
Nicholas,

Hi Nicholas,
Can you compare your account with other’s and check if your account is applied any special policy in Lync Control Panel ?
Best regards,
Eric

Force CalDAV calendar in iCal to send meeting invites via Mail

A handful of people are experiencing issues sending out meeting invite emails via a Google Apps (CalDAV) calendar that is setup in iCal. Meetings are showing up on invitees calendars, but they are not receiving email notifications about them.
Thread on that topic here: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Calendar/thread?tid=368ec40a6bdd7bb8&hl=en
and here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2707217&tstart=0
*So, my question is this*: Is there a way to force Mail.app to send out a meeting invitation of a CalDAV calendar that is setup in iCal, instead of using whatever system the CalDAV calendar uses (in my specific case, Google Apps). My assumption is that iCal uses the Mail.applescript or Mail.scpt file that is inside the iCal package (iCal > Show Package Contents > Resources > Mail.applescript) when sending out an invite from a local calendar. Any way to force a CalDAV calendar to use that script?

I had that problem too.
I changed my mail preferences "Add invitations to iCal" from Automatically to Never and that seems to work for me.
Hope that helps

Meeting invites no longer show in the notifications pane of iCal

I have been using Snow Leopard since it was released to the public and after a recent update I noticed that I could never see the Exchange meeting invites in the notifications pane. When I looked closer I saw that all the meeting invites were automatically added to the calendar, but they were colored grey (indicating that I had not yet accepted them).
I have searched the web for a solution, but there was just one entry of a similar problem, no solution though. I backed up the plist files for iCal and deleted the ones in System-Winson-Library-Prefrences
as well as the Cache entries for iCal.
Restarted iCal and got a colleague to send another meeting invite to my Microsoft Exchange Calendar. And the issue was still there.
There is no issue though with my iPhone which syncs with the same Exchange Calendar. I get to see the event notification.
I am totally lost and would appreciate help in this regard. This has been driving me bonkers all week!

Looks like 10.6.3 update solves this
iCal fixes provided for:
changing the invitation list for a single instance of a recurring event will no longer "un-book" the location of the meeting.
an issue in which new invitations on a Microsoft Exchange server might not appear in the Notification pane.
properly showing recurring Microsoft Exchange events which have a set end date. For details, see this article.

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.
