Propose A New Meeting Time

If I receive a calendar invite, and I want to attend the meeting, but I can't on that particular time. have do I propose a new meeting time? like it is possible in outlook (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HP100070381033.aspx).

I am faced with the same issue. I am surprised that this is not supported in iCal (or atleast I am not sure if it is).

  • Propose a new calendar time], propose a new calendar time

    Hi,
    Whilst apple appear to be making everything look fancy and colourfull there seems to be a lack of attention to detail on the basic functions of the calendar, for example if I am sent a calendar invite I have three choices, accept, maybe or decline. What about if I want to suggest an alternative time. Or having accepted the invite why am I unable to add additional notes to the calendar invite such as address details, notes about what I should take etc.
    When setting calendar reminders, you determine the reminder times, why cant I select how many days, hours or minutes it should be for the reminder.
    Apple, can you please look at this as microsoft have been doing this for years and there was me thinking you were at the forefront of technology or even adapting others ideas.

  • E71x calendar displays 2 different meeting times

    I have an e71x with an unusual problem. Meeting often have two different times in the editing mode.  Here is an example:
    I select a meeting for November 18 (this is a real example from the past) and it shows 1pm to 5pm.  The meeting time has changed, so I want to edit it. It repeats weekly.  When I select Edit>This occurance only the meeting time is 1pm to 5pm.   When I select Edit>All occurances the meeting time is 3pm to 4pm.
    As it turns out, 3pm to 4pm is the new meeting time, so obviously I tried to edit this entry before.  But on the Calendar View only the 1pm time shows up.
    This is crazy!  Why would it even show 2 times at all?
    I'd like the Calendar to show only 1 time.  Is there any way to correct this?

    Maybe I am missing something here in your question, but you are asking that if you schedule a meeting in your calendar for two hours, you want it only to display as a one hour meeting?
    No, the BB calendar will display the amount of time you designate... if you book it for two hours it will display for two hours. If you schedule it for one hour, your calendar will display a one hour time block.
    If you want it only to display a one hour time block, schedule the meeting for one hour.

    I'm a meeting organizer and I'm using office 365Outlook. When an attendee invited to a meeting tentatively accept proposing a new time for the meeting, I get a message with "New Time Proposed" and, when I open it, the "Accept" or declined
    or propose new time button is grayed out so that I cannot accept the new time. When this occurs, I must create a new meeting request with the new time that has been proposed.

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • Changing the default meeting time in Outlook 2010 to 50 minutes

    Is there a way to change the default time for a meeting to 50 minutes.  I can go to Calendar, View, View Settings, Other Settings, and change to 15, 30 or 60 minutes.  What about 50?  Any ideas or suggestion?  Thanks

    Hi,
    I think you have to choose another time scale on your calendar. Because Outlooks tries to match the timescale for new meeting requests. It is only possible to choose 30min or 60 min.
    (http://www.outlook-tips.net/?p=312)
    In order to change the timescale you will find a description here:

    In the above output, for the corresponding date Mar 03, it is showing busy time correctly, but in the suggested time which is free , it is showing until 21.30 only, it need to showed until 23.30 as that also a suggested time which is free, Similarly, in
    next day ie. Mar 04, it shows busy time correctly, but suggested time which is free is shown until 10:00 am only, why it is not showing after 10 am. Please help me to solve this issue and how to proceed further to show the remaining free meeting time also.

    This is my output,
    i gave start date from 04-Mar-2015 and end date 07-Mar-2015, so it shows me the meeting suggestion time from 04-Mar to 06-Mar till 23.30, that is fine, but for 07-Mar, it just shows first 10 meeting time only till 4.30 only, y so, on 07-Mar-2015 also it
    should give time till 23.30 . right.

  • Meeting Requests - sending multiple options for a meeting time / or / group voting option

    Good day,
    As a manager of three divisions in my company, and with frequent external meetings with suppliers, I often face a challenge when proposing meeting times - with busy shedules, I like to always propose 2 or 3 availabilities in my schedule for the invitees
    to select from.
    However, I find that often, this is a slow process that seems like it could be improved - is there a way to send a meeting invite with a 'multiple choice' option for meeting time?
    As a linked question to this, is there a way to use the voting option for a group to select from a list of options their preferred meeting times?
    Many thanks for any ideas or guidance,

    Hi,
    Outlook doesn't have the exactly same build-in feature as your request. However, there's a workaround which can create a Pick-a-Meeting Request.
    Please refer to this link by our MVP, Diane Poremsky:

    I hope this helps.

  • Can new meeting in calendar be set to 30 min as de...

    Hi Folks,
    Just swapped my SE P1 in favour of a Nokia E71 and I am very happy so far. It is a great phone!
    When adding a new meeting in the Calendar on the phone, the meeting defaults to 1 hr. The majority of my meetings are 30 mins. Can the default for new meetings be changed to 30 mins?
    Thanks in adv for your assistance!
    /Jesper

    I've tried it, it doesn't seem to be possible with the default calender. You would have to enter the beginning and ending times.
    I don't know if it would be possible with a third party calendar application like Handy Calendar.

  • Synching Treo 600 with I Cal alters meeting time by one hour?

    When preforming a synch with I CAL, all meeting times, Flight times etc were moved back one hour! Having now manually corrected the Schedule on the TREO what can I do to prevent this from recurring the next time I synch with Ical? Can I make the Treo Schedule override the now incorrect times on ICAL?

    Hi,
    Time zone issues have always been a pain in the you know what.
    Here is what the guys at Mark/Space gave me a long time ago. Maybe it will work with your situation.
    Ho Boy do I hate those 1 hour off time shift (ST-DT) issues, they are my worst nightmare. Because it is always a case by case solution, never got a single solution to work twice.
    So I will have to give you my check list, so you can go throuth it. The big picture is, making some backups, reset the pram on the Mac. Do the check list, finally do an overwrite of the handheld with the desktop data.
    Here we go.
    Do some backups first by following those simple steps
    1. Go to Address Book, click on 'File' menu and choose 'Back up Address Book'. Go to iCal, click on 'File' menu and choose 'Back up database'.
    2. Go to Missing Sync and double click on the Backup Conduit and set it to backup all databases. Then run the sync with just that Backup conduit selected, disable all other conduits.
    3. Go to: /Users/<user name>/Documents/Palm/Users/<hotsync name>/ now hold the 'ctrl' key and click on the /Backups/ folder. Choose the option to 'Create Archive of "Backups"'. This is to safeguard your backed up data in case anything goes wrong.
    Reset PRAM
    Shut down your computer, as soon as you start your computer press and hold command-option-P-R keys simultaneously until you hear the chime start up sound 3 times. Then let go of the keys.
    Support Reps and Engineers have met over this issue of Time Zones. There are some grey zones that still need to be addressed, either by us, Apple's iCal team or Palm.
    Here is a list of items that you need to verify or correct.
    1) Launch iCal, in the iCal menu go to Preferences, in the toolbar, click "Advanced", make sure that "Turn on time zone support" is unchecked.
    2) On your device, launch you calendar, menu Preferences, uncheck "New events use time zones".
    3) Check for new firmware updates available for your device. http://www.palm.com/us/support/downloads/
    4) Verify your location and time. (Ex: if your location is not listed in the selections you can add it).
    To add your location, tap location, go to "edit list", in the new window tap "add", you will see a list of Cities, go down the list to "Your Location" and add it to the your list.
    5) On your Mac, in the System Preferences, open the Date & Time pane, check your "Time Zone". Make sure that it is the same as your Treo.
    6) On your device, tap on the TimeCopy application use the drop-down menu to select Option and then Preference, you can modify to "Update" at Local time only.
    7) If you are using third-party Calendar applications (such as DateBK 5, Agendus etc.) consult your user documentation or contact the appropriate technical support representative.
    Go to iCal, click on 'File' menu and choose 'Back up database'. Modify the name of the backup so that it won't overwrite the one you did earlier.
    I suggest that you 'Reset Sync History' using the iSync preferences option. The first sync will likely be slower.
    1) Launch iSync
    2) Click on the iSync menu
    3) Choose Preferences (make sure the "Enable syncing on this computer" is checked)
    4) Click the 'Reset Sync History' button. Read and follow the onscreen directions.
    5) This may launch iCal. Also the status of the reset is showing in the iSync display. When the reset is complete quit both iSync and iCal.
    Launch Missing Sync and enable the Mark/Space Contacts, Events and Tasks conduits and set them to Desktop overwrite Handheld. Disable all other conduits.
    Then sync, when you do, you will get a dialog box with an orange iSync icon on it. Check the box to erase the device, then click the 'Allow' button. It will overwrite your device. You will get one for events, one for tasks, and one for contacts. The next time you sync .mac or other devices that sync with iSync like an iPod, you will get these same dialog boxes for their databases and you should check the box and click 'Allow' in those cases as well.
    Good luck...

  • New 2TB Time Capsule: solid amber light, but TC working well...what's wrong?

    Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me...thanks in advance for reading through this question!
    I have a brand new 2TB Time Capsule, using it with the AT&T U-verse modem/router 3801 HGV.
    After much consternation, I finally got the TC set up in bridge mode with the U-verse router.
    The TV, phone, and internet are all working well through AT&T...and my wireless internet
    connection through the TC is working great as well.  Also, the TC is performing the first
    back up of my MacBook Pro hard drive.  Everything seems to be working great, I think.
    However, I have some questions that I feel need to be addressed:
    1- The light on the TC is solid AMBER, not green.  When I check the connections in the Airport
    Utility, all indicator lights on my screen are green, and the "dot" beside the TC icon is green.
    Solid amber indicates that the "Time Capsule is completing its start-up sequence".  I would expect
    the start-up sequence to be completed long ago and the light to be green...and I can't find anything
    wrong.
        Any ideas as to why the light on the TC could be solid amber??
    2- What should I do to get the light to be green??
    3- I have no idea of the speed of the back-up, and what it should be.  I have about 190GB of data
    to back up.  I totally understand that it takes many hourse for the first back-up.  It looks like the
    speed I'm seeing is changing frequently, and it's backed up about 3.5GB in about 20 minutes or so.
    Is that a fairly "normal" speed??  I just want to make sure my configuration is good.
    4- I'd like to set up a "guest" wireless network with an easier password...I had done it earlier when
    the connections were not working and perhaps I accidentally removed it when updating to "bridge"
    mode.  To set up a new network, do I just write over the info in the fields when I get to "Wireless"
    tab in the Airport Utility??  The info from my "home" network populates those fields now, and I
    just don't want to risk overwriting the info and losing that network.
         Does the TC "add" a new wireless network when I add new data in those fields...and SAVE the
    original "home" network I created??  Just making sure!
    Thanks to those who reply!

    1- The light on the TC is solid AMBER, not green.  When I check the connections in the Airport Utility, all indicator lights on my screen are green, and the "dot" beside the TC icon is green.
    That is weird.. most TC I look at solid AMBER means the hard disk is dead. Not sure but since it is working it is no biggie.. there is some control over how the led functions.. but I doubt you can set the color different.
    In other words.. not a clue.. if the TC is new take it to the genius and show them.. that is not the way it is supposed to work.
    3- I have no idea of the speed of the back-up, and what it should be.  I have about 190GB of data
    to back up.  I totally understand that it takes many hourse for the first back-up.  It looks like the
    speed I'm seeing is changing frequently, and it's backed up about 3.5GB in about 20 minutes or so.
    Is that a fairly "normal" speed??  I just want to make sure my configuration is good.
    Over wireless expect slow.. you did not state wireless or wired.. but those look like reasonable wireless speed. your files will load at different speed.. small files are slow.. larger files much faster.. it takes time to write the tables for many smaller files.
    We always recommend first backup over ethernet.. even if the TC is pulled out of the network.
    4- I'd like to set up a "guest" wireless network with an easier password...I had done it earlier when
    the connections were not working and perhaps I accidentally removed it when updating to "bridge"
    mode.  To set up a new network, do I just write over the info in the fields when I get to "Wireless"
    tab in the Airport Utility??  The info from my "home" network populates those fields now, and I
    just don't want to risk overwriting the info and losing that network.
    Guest network is removed as an option in bridge mode.. just use the uverse modem wireless for guest.

  • How to connect New Airport Time Capsule to non Apple asdl router

    Guys,
    I have just purchased a new AirPort Time Capsule to back up the various macs in my house. I want to connect it to my wireless router which is a non apple product but the setup instructions are a little unclear to me.
    My current router has simply a phone line connector and the power source coming into it. Do I simply connect an ethernet cable from the Airport to the Router. And if so, do I use the single Ethernet WAN port or one of the three Ethernet LAN ports on the rear of the airport? I assume the other end of the cable goes into any of the Ethernet slots on the back of my router which are marked 'Ethernet', or would it go into the socket marked 'Broadband WAN'?
    Appreciate your help and if anyone is willing to speak on phone, I am very ahppy to call you in the next couple of hours! I am in the UK
    Best, Anthony

    thanks LaPastengue!
    Here is what ive got
    What ATT router do you have? Exact make and model please.
        gateway 2wire from at&t
    What TC do you have.. Latest AC tall one?? Or older one?? If older. .please tell us the model number. A1409 for example from the base mat.
         yes I have the latest airport time capsule 2TB
    Please tell us the full setup.. what is currently plugged into the main modem router??
         The Main modem route has an ethernet cord plugged in the other side of the cord is plugged into the phone      jack
    Do not plug the TC in first.. plug a single ethernet TC to the computer.. Hmm. so I need an additional ethenet cord to plug the TC into the computer? Leaving the router plugged in as is?
    Open the airport utility and change the TC to bridge mode.
    https://discussions.apple.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-23706673-32722 6/450-411/bridgev6AU.png
    Update the TC and then plug it into the ATT modem and plug it into your computer or use the wireless and then tell us what happens.

  • Since the most recent Firefox updates, I am having trouble with certain features on The New York Times website; I can no longer see certain weblog comments, or post comments, etc.

    This question is admittedly a little complicated. The New York Times website has a number of weblog pages which include brief stories followed by space for readers to leave comments. You probably need to be a Times On-Line subscriber to really see what I'm talking about, but some examples would be this City Room blog: http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/02/bloomberg-cancels-radio-talk-amid-furor-over-aides-resignation/ or this Arts Beat blog: http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/01/theater-talkback-remembering-jerry-leiber-a-reluctant-pioneer-of-the-jukebox-musical/
    Since the most recent Firefox updates, when I view these pages, which traditionally have a number of reader comments at the bottom of the Times' story (or at least a space to leave a comment), I can no longer see the comments. There's simply empty. blank space. I know that the comments are there; if I open Internet Explorer and log on to the same page, the comments are suddenly visible. I don't understand where this problem has come from. I haven't noticed whether I'm missing seeing anything on other websites yet.
    I also cannot post comments on other parts of the Times website; while the pages dedicated to story-specific reader comment seem to load correctly and the space to type my comment does appear, I can't actually submit the comment. Repeated pressing of the "submit" icon has no effect. Once again, this works normally in IE.
    For the record, in the past week, I have changed my computer's anti-virus software from McAfee to Norton 360. I run Windows XP. If there's any another information I can provide, please advise, as I vastly prefer running Firefox to IE.

  • New to time capsule and need help with installing it?

    I just bought a new 3tb time capsule and  also new to apple routers I want to use this as my new wireless router how do I go about switching this out with my router now. Im using a linskys router now nothing special I think its only a 300Mbps the only problem is that we just  had our new house complete and prewired with ethernet connection in every room and a security system that runs off of the router how do I go about switching that set up to the new time capsule? I know if I had to have the company come out to do it they charge a hefty fee which I know its that hard to do the only thing that's stopping me is that set up to the security system I don't want to screw that up???

    Three different aspects
    1. Set the form up to submit the data (XML or FDF), not the full PDF. You can import the data to the PDF on your end.
    2. You can turn on Extended Reader Rights, but then limit the use/users to 500 by the EULA. The applicability of this option depends on your intended application. In a small office, it would be fine. For general web use you would likely exceed the limit and be in violation of the EULA.
    3. There may be an e-mail problem, one reason that e-mail is not recommended for form submission (even if the manual discusses it). Again, in a controlled environment like an office it will probably work fine, but in a web setup it is best to use a web script. There are 2 problems with e-mail that both depend on the client system (YOU have no control, but will be blamed in any case). First, the client machine has to be set up as an active MAPI client. Many folks do not have this on. Second, some e-mail clients treat PDFs like text and the result is a corrupt e-mail submission, even if it makes to you.
    If you have the possibility of web submission, do it. I suggest only having the form data submitted and not the form.
