Problems sending ical invites to gmail addresses?

Problems sending iCal invites to people with gmail. Is there a fix?
Many of the people I invite who have gmail, never get the invite even though they have an iPhone.

Has she looked in her junk folders? Has she made sure your address is in her contacts in Hotmail? Has she made sure your address is not blocked in Hotmail? The problem is obviously on her end as your emails are not getting through to her Hotmail account. Good luck.

  • Send iCal Invite from Alternate Address?

    My iCal invites in Lion keep sending from my .mac address (which I never use).  I want it to send from by 'send from' address, and I've changed that info in mail and iCal -- to no avail.
    Any suggestions?

    Hello all,
    I sync Gmail account with iCal on my Mac, and with my iPhone and iPad. I can see all of my events on all of my devices without a problem, and can send calendar invites on everything but my iPad. Is there a way to add an event invitation option to my iPad's calendar application?
    AFAIK MobileMe is the only way to send event invites. If you have a MobileMe mail account then a new 'feature' of iPad Calendar is activated which allows sending invites.
    I don't know of any other way to do it.

    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!

  • Why I can't send ical invitation

    I am using iMac .When I send ical invitation, it shows a message that I need to open an account in Address Book.I already added my contact details in address book.why?what is the solution

    Ni Shameer,
    In addition to the suggestions by MadisonP, open Address Book, find your card and make sure that you choose Card>Make This My Card.
    If that is unsuccessful, delete and recreate your card, making sure to once again choose "Make This My Card."

  • Why is iCloud sending iCal invitations in German?

    I am running Lion set to English and iCal set to English. iCloud is configured for English.

    I think I solved it. My Macbook was set to delete items after 60 days.  Grrrrr....

  • I want to change my apple id primary e-mail from a .msn address to a .gmail address. The problem is that currently my .gmail address is my cover address and I cannot figure out how to remove and replace my gmail recovery address.

    I want to change my apple id primary e-mail from a .msn address to a .gmail address. The problem is that currently my .gmail address is my recovery address; I cannot figure out how to remove and replace my gmail recovery address with a new e-mail address.  I want to do this because I no longer use my .msn address.

    You should be able to change your rescue address by going to My Apple ID, signing in to manage your ID, then selecting the the Password and Security section, and answering the two security questions.  If you have trouble with this, contact the Apple account security team for your country to verify your identity and ask for assistance: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security.  If your country isn't listed, contact iTunes store support by filling out this form: https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

  • How do I send iCal invites on OS 10.6

    How do I send iCal invites on OS 10.6

    Seems Apple is making things more difficult with every OS update. Back in the day you used to be able to organize your applications instead of having them all in one folder. You used to have a lot more freedom. More and more it is just easier to use a third party app. So I'm gonna install Thunderbird until Apple comes up with an easy way to fix the mail app. it seems that eveything in help says you just gotta reinstall the system from scratch. I would rather just use an open source product that I can put into any forlder I want without having to worry about it screwing itself up. Had similar experience with Safari now it seems like it is time to get rid of Mail.

  • How to send ical invites from another email address than the iCloud address

    Hi everyone,
    I have set up my calendars in ical to work with icloud and everything is going great.
    The problem i have is that when i invite someone to a meeting or reply to a meeting invite the invitation is send from my iCloud email address. Instead i want the invitation or reply to be send my business email account.
    Anyone have any suggestions on how to select which account the invtiations are sent from?
    Thanks

    1. I didn't replace my [email protected] login with my [email protected] email. I only changed my email information to my [email protected] email. I still login with [email protected]
    2. The me card in both my local address book and the addressbook on iCloud only contains my [email protected] email.
    From what I've read in other threads, changing the apple id email means deleting my iCloud account and starting over with a new login email. Apple officially says that it's not possible. But others seem to have succeed with it.
    Do you know of any other solution?

  • Cant send iCal Invite to myself or alternate email address

    I've been having a challenge creating an iCal event and sending an invitation to myself. What Im trying to do is add an appointment to my calendar on my personal Mac and have an invitation sent to my work email address so I can add the appointment to my work calendar also.
    Apparently iCal will not let you send a invite to any of the email addresses in the "Me" address book entry.
    I tried adding a new address book entry for just my work email address but that did not work either.
    I had to REMOVE my work email address from the ME address book entry before the work address book entry would show up.

    Hi,
    You can turn on text messaging notification in OWA to receive message notification, but the premise is that you can logon OWA. If you don't have access to OWA, you can create a transport rule to forward the messages you received to another user's mailbox,
    and then set up his/her OWA to send text messages to your mobile device.
    Hope my clarification can be helpful to you.

  • Is it possible to customise the email address used to send iCal invites?

    Hi,
    I am trying to find out if it is possible to customise the email address used by iCal to send an invite.
    i.e. each user would like their email address to be used rather than a generic one.
    Tks
    Ben

    Sorry, that isn't possible. The email address is used as the account name. If you need to change it, a new account would need to be created.

  • .ics invites and gmail address

    I have my Google calendar linked to iCal through Exchange. When someone sends me an invite through to my work email address Apple Mail and I click "accept", they see my gmail address as accepting the invitation. I would rather them see the work email address (to which they sent the invitation) as having "accepted" the invitation -- I don't want them to see my gmail address.

    The password doesn't work because the account doesn't exist and I can't reset the password because the gmail account it is connected to doesn't exist either.

  • Cannot send iCal invite

    I tried to send an iCal invite but got an error message that said I need to create an address card for myself in OS X Address Book. However I already have an address card for "myself." How do I "tell" iCal that "I" already have an address card? There are no instructions for this.
    Thanks!

    If you don't have your "me" contact darkened, in Address Book, select the contact you want to be "you", select the "Contact" menu, then select "Make This My Card"
    That should do you.

  • HT5361 How do I set up multiple gmail accounts in Mail without them sending from the wrong gmail address?

    I have Mail set up with three gmail-based email accounts. I have chronically had an issue with sending email from one address and having responses to that original email come in to the other gmail addresses. When I try to select which server to send from, all three gmail servers are never online or available at the same time - it's always just one.
    How do I get around this? My gmail-based accounts are for three distinct audiences, so I need them to function properly. I would rather be able to do this in Mail than by switching to internet-based email or using Outlook for Mac. At this point, I have had to stop using Mail and am just doing it through the internet. I have deleted all of my email accounts out of Mail, so nothing is currently set up in the application. Do I need to do anything to Mail to really wipe it clean before I start creating my accounts again?
    Thanks in advance for your input!

    After removing the account and reinstalling it. currently both send and receive are showing on my Mac Pro..  My MacBookPro s another issue ... even when I send email in that account from the MBP it "flashess" in the sent mail and then dissappears.  I modified my "smart folder" and included "sent mail" and that was of no use either.  When I first reloaded that account on the MBP this morning both sent and inbox mail showed ... but now nothing in the "sent" folder even though it is still showing on the MP and in the OWA account.
    Since the mail is clearly in the OWA account I assume this is an Apple mail issue and not a GoDaddy (server) issue ..
