Sending Outlook Meeting requests using iPhone contacts

Is there a plugin or undocumented feature for creating an appointment on the iPhone 3G and send to recipients using the iPhone contact list?

I am dying to know this too. I'm syncing my calendar too and this would be sweet.

Sending Outlook Meeting Requests through Outlook using JSP?

Hi all,
I'm trying to develop a web application that's able to invoke the Create New Meeting Request dialog from the client's Outlook (they are using Outlook 2002/2003), and populate some data from server-side into the Meeting Request, so that users can customize the Request if necessary and send it out.
Have looked at a few solutions as follows:
1) HTML's mailto
This is not good, coz the body can only accept plain text, whereas I need to be able to send HTML text (which Outlook can accept).
2) Outlook View Control
This was more hopeful, as I was able to invoke the new Meeting Request dialog. However still no way to send my data to the Meeting Request :-(
Basically, what I need is to be able to send a customized Meeting Request through some means, like for example getting Outlook to do it like the above, or sending out via some Java APIs (do they exist?)
Any ideas if the above is possible at all? Or if there are other ways to do this, other than relying on Outlook?
I'm open to any suggestions, even commercial solutions, since I'm quite urgently in need of options.
Note that I can't connect direct to Exchange (there are some solutions for doing that), because of some security issues which doesn't allow me to connect to the Exchange Server.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hi whartung,
Thanks for the reply! Appreciate it.
I think what you are suggesting is exactly what Outlook View Control is. Unfortunately, as I've mentioned, it seems that Microsoft did not give it sufficient controls to be able to pre-populate a new Meeting Request. You can only invoke the Outlook UI to create the Meeting Request, but there's no APIs to populate the new Meeting Request.
Have however found a possible alternative in the meantime:
Outlook supports iCalendar files which is a standard for calendaring information storage, and it is able to process a Meeting Request from an iCalendar file which contains details of the Meeting Request.
So what I'm looking to do is this:
1) Create the iCalendar file in the backend with Java.
2) Send an email to the user(s) who is intended to receive the Meeting Request, with the iCalendar file attached.
3) User clicks on the iCalendar file, which prompts them to process the Meeting Request.
Somewhat indirect, but gets the Meeting Request across, and all the 3 steps are actually possible.
Furthur to this, it opens up the possibility of sending Outllook Contacts (which supports iCard format) through similar mechanisms as well!

Trying to send a meeting request in Outlook 2010. Error: "the meeting is not in the calendar folder for this account. responses to this meeting will not be tallied

Trying to send a meeting request in Outlook 2013 Error: "The meeting is not int he calender folder for this account. responses to this meeting will not be Tallied.
Please let me know what should I do?
I have set the account as default what should be my next step?

Hi,
Please try the following points to narrow down the issue:
1. Please check whether the default Calendar folder is checked when you created the meeting request and sent it out.
2. Please check whether there is any shared calendar opened in your Outlook and the meeting request is created on behalf of the shared calendar instead of your own calendar.
3. Create a new Outlook profile and create a test meeting request to have a try.
Additionally, here is a similar thread for your reference:

Integrating Outlook (Meeting Request) with JSP/ASP

Hi there
I am new to this forum. I was wondering if anyone knew a way where I could have a form in ASP or JSP for setting up meetings, and this form sends in meeting requests(instead of mail) to the recipients' outlook mailbox?
Thank ya all.

Hi,
Before we go further, Please kindly confirm does this issue only happens on that iPhone 5c? or repro's on all recipients' devices?
You might need to check if you have checked the check box of use the iCalendar format in
File->Options->Calendar->When sending meeting requests outside of your organization, use the iCalendar format.
Start your Outlook client in safe mode also worth a try as some add-ins, like the Anti-virus add-ins may also cause this kind of issue. Just press Win + R and type "outlook.exe /safe" in the blank box, then press Enter.
Please try above workarounds first, and feel free to post back with any findings.
Thanks,

I get a question mark next to email addresses when I try to send a meeting request and it fails

Outlook 2010, standard Win 7 setup.
I am trying to send a meeting request and when I bring up the address book to insert email addresses it seems to insert the address but it has a gray question mark next to it. Sending then fails. Even an email address manually typed in gets the question
mark.
Odd thing is that from a regular email I can insert the same address from the same contact list and it works fine.
Why does it fail in meeting invites by not in email?

Hi,
When you hover your mouse pointer on the mark, or click on it, do you see any hint?
When sending the meeting request fails, do you see any error message?
If you are an Exchange account user, try to send a request to the people in your organization, I suppose it works.
Just a guess, try to clear the nickname and the automatic completion caches to test the result:

Cannot view an outlook meeting request

I cannot view an outlook meeting request on an iphone 5s running ios 7.1.2. A fundamental gap in trying to link my personal life with my business life (which exists in the Microsoft world).

HT4993 When I send Outlook invites to my iPhone (via email) the appointments appear 3 hours earlier? The time setting appears to be EST which is accurate so I can't figure out why the appointments don't appear in real time. Thanks for your help, Ellen

1) The best way to relocate the iTunes library folder is to move the entire iTunes folder with all subfolders to the new path, then press and hold down shift as start iTunes and keep holding until prompted to choose a library, then browse to the relocated folder and open the file iTunes Library.itl inside it.
If you've done something different then provide some more details about what is where and I should be able to help.
2) Purchases on the device should automatically transfer to a Purchased on <DeviceName> playlist, but it my depend a bit on whether automatic iCloud downloads are enabled. If there is a cloudy link then the transfer might not happen. You can use File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. In iTunes you should also check out iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
3) Backup the device, then immediately restore it. In some cases you need to add a restore as new device into that equation. Obbviously not to be attempted until you're sure all your media is in your library. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device should it be needed.
4) I believe there is complimentary 1 incident 90-day support with hardware purchases, but no free software support for iTunes itself. AppleCare gets you a different level of support.

How to send a https request using jsf

hi
Can anybody tell a sample how to send a https request using JSF ...
thanks

Prefix the request URI with the https protocol.
The answer is too easy and straightforward that I guess that you mean something else. If you just want to know how to configure an SSL environment for your own webapplication, refer to the Java EE tutorial chapter 28: http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/tutorial/doc/

Hi Ganapathys,
For the error "failed due to the following error: 80080005", please Make sure that Outlook and Powershell are either both running as a standard user (not elevated) or that they are both running elevated as Administrator. They need to be running at the same
integrity level to avoid that error.
Please try to run powershell as standard user without "run as admin".

Having to re-accept meeting requests on iPhone after initial acceptance in Outlook

I've searched these forums for awhile and all syncing issues seem to dance around the actual issue I'm having.
Currently have an iPhone 4 running IOS 6.1.2. Business is running Microsoft Outlook 2007 and I'm connecting to Exchange through OWA.. I have no syncing issues when creating meeting requests from my phone or vice versa like others have had and I have not had any issues with meetings being deleted.
However, since updating from IOS 5 to IOS 6, I do have an issue where if I accept a meeting request inside of Outlook, it does not sync and clear out the meeting request as "accepted" on my iPhone. The only way to remove the notification is to select the request in the calendar and accept it a 2nd time and thereby sending a 2nd acceptance to the meeting organizer.
I've tried everything from changing Outlook settings in order to delete meeting invitations after acceptance to the numerous suggestions found in these forums though none specifically solve this particular issue.
Any help or direction to the thread where this might be solved would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Has anyone figured out a solution to this yet? I have an iPhone 5s and an iPad Mini. I have my Outlook 2010 calendars synced on both my iPhone and iPad Mini. If I accept a meeting request in Outlook, it still appears in the Inbox in my calendar on both my iPhone and iPad Mini. If I accept the meeting request on my iPhone, it still appears in my Inbox on my calendar on my iPad Mini.
I have my Outlook set to delete meeting requests/invites after I have accepted them, and that works in Outlook, yet they still remain on my iDevices. I have restarted both devices, and I have backed up iCloud again on both devices. I don't want to have to accept meeting requests on both my iPhone and iPad each time I receive them because that makes me look foolish. I also don't want to see the meeting requests in my Inbox on my iPad after I already accepted it on my iPad because the little number 1 in the red circle (signifying an alert on my calendar) is annoying.
Who can solve this problem so that after I accept a meeting request in Outlook, that invite does not appear anymore in my Inbox for my iPhone and iPad calendars? Please! Thank you in advance.

IOS7 and outlook meeting requests not showing up

I am using Outlook 2007 on a PC (Windows 7). Just updated my iPhone 5 to the new iOS 7 Operating System. All seemed well until I sent a meeting request through my outlook on the desktop to a fellow iPhone user. The email with the mime-attachment.ics came through to her email just fine. However, you can't open it and it's not showing up in the calendar inbox or calendar. I tried sending one to myself, same results.
It worked just fine before the update. Any suggestions? I currently do not use an online calendar or iCloud...just the outlook program on my desktop. iCloud presented a problem between my husband's exchange server and invites that I sent him so I kept it turned off.
Thank you,
LC

I really wish your solution worked for me. Unfortunately, even turning on the S/Mime switch, I'm still not able to view the calendar appointment. Nothing has changed for me, but I'm glad it's working for you.
BozyGoBlue, your solution worked for me. However, it's crazy to have to jump through the extra hoop to get an appointment on my calendar. I did try forwarding the email appointment message to myself, and that worked too. Since your solution worked for both of us, I'd be interested in knowing if I am gbot's solution worked for you.
Still looking for a fix. If anyone comes across anything, I'd appreciate you coming back here and posting. I'll do the same.

Outlook Meeting Request Notes Incomplete

I have ditched Outlook in VMware for Apple Mail and iCal.
Over the past couple of months I have been receiving some meeting requests that I have accepted into my calendar which do not include the complete notes from the meeting request. It has cause me to be late or re-request meeting details a few times now. We use webex for many meetings and most meeting hosts include meeting details and URLs to join the meetings in the note section.
Sometimes the complete details are included in the iCal entry and other times not. I have not figured out when this works versus' when it does not. It happened today when I believe I was forwarded an existing meeting from another's calendar, but so far I have not figured out a pattern.
When I accept the meeting the original note is moved to the Trash in Mail. When I look at the deleted email that contains the missing meeting details. This has happened on my Mac Pro and Mac Book Pro.
Does anyone else experience this or have a fix?
