Send iCloud Calendar invites from main Apple ID address

I have recently started using all the iCloud services and have noticed that when I send calendar invitations to people, it sends from (myUsername)@me.com. Is there a way to change the email address that sent invites go from so that if is sent from my primary apple ID email address or another alternative address. Please help me, thanks.

I have the same problem. There isn't anything serious, but I am a bit angry for it :-)

How do I choose which email address to send a calendar invite from?

I use iCalendar for business. I don't want to send company calendar invites with my personal @.mac account. Years ago I had a Bberry and could choose which email address to send it from while creating a meeting in the calendar. Is this not possible with Apple Technology?

Open Mail app. Click where it says mail on the upper left corner of the screen, choose preferences choose accounts tab on the top then select the account you don't want anymore and click the - button at the bottom.

Why aren't people receiving my iCloud calendar invites from my Mac, iPhone or iPad?

Why aren't people receiving my iCloud Calendar invites? This is a problem with all my devices. I have tried the suggestions on the Community message boards to no avail. This problem has been going on for weeks.
I switched from MobileMe months ago and never had any problems until a few weeks ago. I kept thinking it would resolve itself, but it hasn't.

Apple turns into Microsoft. Very annoying same problem here. If you invite someone with a proper email address, that person should get an invite whether you use mobile me, icoud, ical standalone or entourage. Big shame for apple.

How do I send a calendar invite from my phone to a non-Apple device (PC using Outlook) in a non-iCloud format?

I have searched but haven't come up with an answer yet.
Here's my situation: I use multiple calendars across multiple platforms (work and home, Exchange & iCal). To keep them in sync, I send an invite to one or the other (work email / personal email). While I can fairly reliably send an email from work (Outlook / Exchange) to my iCal via email (using Mail on iPhone, iPad or MacAir), I cannot do the reverse. The culprit, per se, is our corporate security policies. Since the invite comes from iCloud and to accept it (and have it added to my calendar), I have to communicate with iCloud. But alas, said communication is blocked (corporate stance: since it's possible to do file sharing it's been tagged as such and blocked).
While I would love to change the corporate policy, I am unable to do so
So, my question is how do I change the invite to not come from iCloud? I tried switching off iCal sync in iCloud, but when I do, the invitation option within iCal no longer exists.
Is there a preference switch somewhere that I am missing?

Is the message saying to log into iCloud on her device and not only a computer?
To use iCloud on a you must have an Apple device that can use iCloud.
To enable iCloud on your Windows PC (Windows 7 or 8 required), first set up your iCloud account on your other iOS devices or Mac, then install iCloud for Windows.

How do i send a calendar invite

how do i send a calendar invite from the iphone?

The only documentation that comea withe iPhone is a quick start guide. The full manual is online. The section on the calendar says:
Invitations
If you have an iCloud account, a Microsoft Exchange account, or a supported CalDAV account, you can send and receive meeting invitations.
so if you calendar is not one of the above (on the server side) is not one of the above you can't send invitations
As to when Apple will add the ability we are all just users so we would have no idea but it's not up to apple as it's having the support for invitations in the underlying calendar system

IPhone6 is not sending or receiving texts from non-Apple users, except when in Group texts. I've tried the various fixes on the main support page to no avail. Any ideas?

Issues with calendar invites from Outlook address that come to my gmail on iPhone

I have been trying for HOURS to get to the bottom of this iPhone calendar invite problem I'm having. I'll try to summarize.
I LOVE iCal and I want to continue using it. Though I have a personal mid-2010 Macbook Pro, I don't use it too much (my company functions solely on Windows). I almost exclusively use my iPhone 4S for calendar purposes. Yes, my calendar is synced up to iCloud. I have a gmail account as my primary apple ID and my mail account on the iPhone is synced with gmail. I've been very annoyed lately as I have been receiving a lot of calendar invites from a friend who has Outlook, and I cannot accept or decline when I received her invite. The events are added to my calendar, grayed out.
After much research, I realized that I had to setup my gmail account as an Exchange account on my iPhone, which I did. I then sent myself a test invite from Lotus Notes, and low and behold, I can now accept and decline!
..but I am VERY particular about my calendar organization, and I want to be able to choose which calendar the event is added to; however, it is added to my exchange (gmail) calendar, I guess because it was received on the gmail server. I want my calendar invites to be received on my ios device calendar! I don't know if having people use my .me account would help, but I don't want to tell everyone to change the email address to which they send me notifications, because I want to continue to receive mail at my gmail account (like the many calendars, I have many folders there and have everything set up the way I want it).
I get emails concerning work, events, tennis matches, etc via my gmail account, and I want to sort them to the correct calendar when the invite comes to my gmail while STILL maintaining the functionality to accept and decline invites.
Is this a crazy question?

I posted this question a while ago and didn't receive any responses but there are a lot of people who have viewed it and 10 have said they have the same question so I thought I would update you that I added my nanny to my exchange server account (created an email for her) and I send all invites to that email address and they work. So sending invites from an exchange server account to a non-exchange server account apparently is a bug so to solve it, get on an exchange server I guess.

Icloud calendar invite lotus notes

Ever since I migrated from MobileMe to iCloud last week, my calendar invites from both my iPhone and my iMac are no longer readable by Lotus Notes (my wife). This is, obviously, a big problem!
I searched the Google-verse and do not see any other mention of this.
Am I alone?

I decided to open a real problem, so I went to Support.Apple.com and within a few short clicks, Apple called me.
I accidentally hung up on them, and they called back in 2 minutes.
I then waited in the queue for a few short minutes. The person who answered, understood my problem and transferred me to the iCal department where I waited another 15 minutes.
The iCal department then did some research for 10 minutes, and came back to tell me that, unfortunately, iCal is working / not broken. I disagreed, saying that this is my business computer and not being able to send meeting invites to anyone not using a MAC is insane.
The support guy suggested I tell the developers directly, via http://www.apple.com/feedback/ical.html.
I already did that.
He suggested that you all do to. The more people who feedback, the faster we'll get a fix!

Receiving calendar invites from gmail, possible?

I am attempting to receive calendar invites from my girlfriends HTC to my iPhone calendar.
She sends an invitation from her calendar app (which runs in google calendars) and sends that invite to my apple ID (which also happens to be a gmail address).
I receive an email which I can manually input into my calendar but I get no 'invite' as such. No invitation is shown when I click the button in the calendar app on my iPhone.
I'm just curious if it is possible?
I have successfully sent invites the other way around. My girlfriend received an email which allows her to accept through iCloud and then the entry shows up automatically both on her phone and on google calendars. To be able to do it the other way would be awesome.

Hi there,
There seems to be two parts to your problem:
1. Receiving the invitations through email rather than through the app's inbox.
2. Not being able to reply to the invite through email.
Regarding 2: does the event show up on your google calendar when you accept it? You can check that by logging into your gmail account in a web browser and looking at your calendar web-app.
If it does, then make sure, in your phones calendar/mail settings, that you gmail address is set to sync it's calendar to your phone.
If that doesn't work, I'm afraid I don't know more about that.
Regarding 1: What I might be able to help you with though is getting those invites to you Calendar app on your phne. Countless people have had this problem and still have it. This solution worked for me, it might work for you. If that doesn't work for you, I suggest you browse the forums here and at macrumors for more help.
SOLUTION:
1. Log in to you Google account ON A DESKTOP COMPUTER (I tried on mobile and it didn't work for me).
2. Access your google calendar. One way is through the "9 squares" icon on the top right of your browser.
3. On the middle-left portion of your screen, you will see your various calendars listed (e.g. Personal calendar, contacts birthdays, holidays, etc.). The top one should be your primary calendar, and immediately to the left of it is a downward pointing arrow. Click on it to reveal an options menu.
4. In that options menu, choose "Settings".
5. In the settings menu, at the top, there is a navigation menu. Click on "Notifications".
6. Inside the notification menu, there are a number of options for Email and SMS alerts. DISABLE ALL NOTIFICATIONS.
7. Don't forget to save the changes.
For me that did the trick. I assume that when a new invite is being processed through iCloud, it first checks with the email address if there are notifications settings enabled, and if so let's it handle the invite. Which could actually be the desired behaviour, although it should be more obvious. Either that or Google Calendar somehow hijacks the process.
Anyway it seems that when there as no notification setup with Google, the invite god through to the Calendar Inbox as usual.
This problem was a thorn for me, so I hope that fixes it for you as well!
Vincent
Info: Using iPhone 5S, with iOS7, but previously had the same probl with iPhone 3GS using iOS6. Have been using the same Gmail account since the beginning and always had my Apple ID ash gmail address.

I don't receive calendar invites from google calendar on iphone

I use ical on my macbook as well as on my iphone. I have them both logged into the same apple account. When I receive an invite from someone using google calendars I receive this invite via email as well as a notification on the macbook ical. I don't receive this on the iphone ical. Even if I accept and it is showing up as an event on my macbook ical, it still does not show up on the iphone ical. This is when it is sent to a specific email address which is not my primary icloud email address, but it is listed as one of the email addresses for my icloud account. Any suggestions?

I should note that this is happening when someone sends me an invite from google calendar to a yahoo business hosted email account.

My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can i fix this without turning off iCloud?

My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can I fix this without turning off iCloud?
I am at a new office that uses Outlook (not Outlook Exchange) which does not sync with my mobile... I just got iCloud set up on my PC to sync my contacts, calendar, reminders, etc... The sync worked (not without flaws, but the other issues seem solvable... I think), so that i can now see all my appointments on both my phone and on my PC. The problem I am having is that iCloud moved all of my calendar items from Outlook into iCloud calendar and now when I send out meeting/calendar invites the recipients may accept them, but the meeting does not get added to their calendar. This is a huge problem and may mean that i need to turn off iCloud.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks!

I am replying to my own post here as I seem to have fixed the problem.
I do have some calendars that are shared. Some of those are shared with users who have time zone support turned on. So i activated time zone support on my iphone, then deleted my icloud subscription. I then signed in to icloud again and voila... problem solved.
It is a weird one as the other calendar views were always fine and when you opened an event that appeared in the wrong day (on list view), the correct date of the event was shown in the information...
one more bug in a complicated system I guess

Forwarding Exchange calendar invites from calendar app not working

We have Samsung Windows 8 phones and have discovered a problem with forwarding calendar invitations from within the calendar app on Exchange 2010 / ActiveSync.
User A on Exchange 2010 will create a new meeting request and send it to user B. User B will accept the calendar invitation on their Windows 8 phone. User B will then go into the calendar app on their phone and forwards the calendar item to User C. User
C does not receive anything nor does User A receive a notification that their original meeting invite has been forwarded. No error messages are shown on User B's phone. It's as if the forwarded item simply vanishes.
With the same scenario as above, if User B does NOT initially accept the meeting invite from User A and instead immediately forwards the invite to User C from within the MAIL app on his phone, before accepting the meeting, User C receives the invitation
as per normal and User A receives notification that their meeting request was forwarded, as expected.
If User B does NOT initially accept the meeting invite from User A, but then goes into the calendar app on their phone and attempts to forward the meeting request (showing as tentative as they have not accepted it yet), User C still does not receive anything
and User A does not get notification.
This appears to be a bug within the Calendar application on Windows 8 phones as forwarding meeting invites works fine from within the Mail app (provided the user has not accepted the meeting yet - once the meeting has been accepted in the mail app, the item
"disappears" and is no longer accessible except from within the Calendar app).
This is a pretty major issue with heavy calendar users (e.g. executives) as they will be forwarding accepted meeting requests from their calendars and without receiving any error messages will assume the forwarded invitation has gone through, when in fact
it hasn't.

We have reproduced this issue internally and are filing a bug to get this issue fixed. As soon as we have an update to this, we will report back on this thread. Thank you for raising this issue.

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.

My password for icloud is different from my Apple id and I can't change my icloud password, where can I get that changed?

My password for icloud is different from my Apple id and I can't change my icloud password, where can I get that changed?

Your Apple ID is required to log in to iCloud, yes? I think you are rquired to re-sign in when performing an iCloud feature?

Why aren't people receiving my icloud calendar invites?

Why aren't people receiving my icloud calendar invites?

Oh now that you explain your response is clearer. Nothing is happening. No alerts, no emails. Nothing.
